I suggest you add 150 mg of Welbutrin to Celexa or Paxil to avoid gaining weight. You are more likely to gain weight on the paxil because its more sedating and might have to increase the Welbutrin. Wellbutrin is a antidepressant and also a mild stimulant. It's not bad alone, but I find it excellent when combined with better antidepressants like celexa or lexapro. And if you go for a 30-40 minute walk everyday and eat a healthy low-fat diet, you will probably not gain any weight. Ask your doctor, because gaining weight will just make you more depressed.

I gain about 75 pounds on that poison. Not only that, I lost all sense of motivation, drive, my sense of accomplishment, and common sense. I started having long-term side effects that were harming my entire body. It took me 6 months to wean off it and another 9 to feel human again. I can't believe they still allow these drugs on the market! I will never again take any drug again
My weight gain had nothing to do with "feeling better/eating more". Before I was given that poison, I ate an all-natural, organic, vegetarian based diet and exercised 4-6 times a week. While on it, I was a zombie- I didn't give a darn about anything and I was HIGH all day. Iit screwed up my metabolism and destroyed my hormone system.

I took Paxil for a three hundred and sixty 5 days and a 0.5, it substitute into sturdy in the beginning up. Then i began out letting my living house cleansing pass to crap and not probable being concerned. i could sleep for my entire 2 days off of artwork. The withdraw sucked to boot. if your challenge is stress i might attempt something else like lorazepam or klonopin.

losing weight is the least you need to worry about, how about the addiction and the twitches in the body you going to have in a few years? i suggest you will learn a bit on what you take so unless you want to die really badly and look ugly too- you should find a real doctor to help you get rid of this. go to www.labelmesane.com
check also www.cchr.org and find the truth about the drugs and have a prediction on how you will look in a few years while your psychitrist will drive in a niv=ce BMW you helped sponsor!

Weight gain is a side effect of both drugs. Reasoning is that when you begin to feel better you eat more.

PAXIL
i gained over 100 lbs. while on this drug
coming off this medication was hell. i was dizzy, sick to my stomach, depressed, anxious, and out of control for over 3 weeks. finally, i persuaded my psychiatrist to put me on zoloft---what a difference. without even trying to diet, i lost over 140 lbs.
