Has anyone gained weight from Paxil? If so how much and what mg are you on (ie. 10, 20, 30...)? What did u do

Question

Did you cut back on your medication or did you stop it? IF so what kinds of side efects did you have associated with this?

Answer 1

I took Paxil for 2 years (30mg a day) and gained maybe ten pounds. I didn't change my dosage any because the medication was doing its job and calming me down otherwise, and my weight gain was not that bad. I quit stopping by McDonalds as often, though.

Answer 2

I' 29 and have been on Paxil for almost a year, gained 15 lbs. Now I quit taking it, feel fine and am exercising
