Weight gain
by TeeVee36, Apr 23, 2009 01:16PM
I am currently on Paxil for close to a year now. I joined weight watchers and am not losing any weight and it is upsetting. I was aware the you could gain weight on Paxil and other AD's but that it wasn't a certainty. Does anyone know of an alternative AD that doesn't cause weight gain?
I am ready to stop taking the Paxil and I know I have to ween myself off. I am on 40 mgs and am thinking about breaking them in half - any thoughts on that?

I also take paxil. 20mg. I got to where I was sooo tired and fatigued all the time. I started taking them every other day instead of every day. I have much more energy and feel like living again. I have noticed a small weight gain while on them. I think most all of these kinds of drugs do that tho. You are on a pretty high dosage for a reason, so talk to you doctor about going off of em. You have to do it slowly, very slowly as to not activate all the withdraw symptoms.
