I just started taking Paxil and my Doctor did say weight gain was possible because it causes an increase in appetite. Is this what you experienced?

Paxil makes you GAIN weight. Period.
I have gained over 50 lbs since I started it 14 years ago. For that reason, I have been weaning myself off this horrible drug. So far, I have lost 17 lbs in 2 months. I am ecstatic!

You are totally wrong...one of the worse side effects of paxil is weight GAIN...enormous weight gain...you probably work for Glaxo; 99% of paxil users gain tons of weight - as my doctor said paxil packs it on!!!!

You are so right...I am trying to wean down too - I went from 10 to 5 and it is so hard to split 5 into 2-1/2...I will try it and see how I am in a week....might try to get liquid....PAXIL PACKS ON THE POUNDS!!!!

Paxil is used to treat depression. But it can cause few side effects like nausea, dry mouth, diarrhea, infection and weight change. Some people experience weight gain while other shed pounds. The medicine may interfere with metabolism. Talk to your doctor on loss of appetite or weakness. Paxil is safe medication to manage stress, but may cause little weight loss.

Thank you! I have taken Paxil two different times in my life. Each time I used it my weight kept going up. I eat very small portions and exercise. Nothing had changed in my eating habits or exercise each time I took Paxil. I winged off the Paxil very slowly and just praying the weight will come off. This in itself has caused me much distress. Please let me know if you are having results from the omega 3 and vitamin e and how long it takes to lose the weight. Thanks K
