Cold Turkey! PAXIL CR 37.5mg

txmama

Hey! Today I decided to take myself off of the Paxil CR 37.5mg I have been taking this for months now and I have gained a lot of weight! I have read about the withdraw affects and I can not believe it! This is a horrible med to be on people! While it works damn good...you put on a lot of weight! I can not take the way I look anymore! I would rather have the "zaps" than continue to gain weight!

Paxiled

i gained a lot of weight, too, but cold turkey on Paxil? Why would you do that? Taper off, it'll take time to lose the weight anyway.

good luck on going cold turkey. you probably will end up in the emergency room. paxil also turn me into a fat blob. i don't know what is worse. the depression i feel from gaining so much weight or the reasons i started taking paxil in the first place. once i am off of paxil i will never tak it again. i am weening myself slowly.
