Between Klonopin and Paxil, i gained 80 pounds. this was over ten years ago. Not sure which one did it, or if it was a combo.

Hi, Gwen. I too, took Xanax (Xanax XR) for many years, and now I'm on Klonopin as well. What does your doctor say about the weight gain? Klonopin, as far as I know, isn't supposed to cause weight gain. I'm going to research this.
