Thanks in advance for any responses
I was once on paxil and birthcontrol and gained to, once your body gets used to those drugs in your body you'll start going the other way! Just try to drink a lot of water and watch the fast food!! and exercise!!
good luck.
if ya dont mind me askin do you have panic disorder? im not judgin ya if ya do, its just i have it& would love to chat wh someone about how hard it is.
I was put on paxil when my son was about 2 yrs old and found the same thing... unfortunately, weight gain is one of the side affects common to several of the anit-depressant drugs. I'm not on it any more, but I know I talked to my dr. about it because the last thing I needed on top of it all was getting fat. And obviously, I am just getting on track now with doing something about that extra weight that I put on back then. I am now on Atkins (just started one week ago tomorrow) and have lost 6 lbs. The funny thing is I am not a meat eater, but out of desperation I have become one!Hey, if it works....

Sugarbaby, I was put on Lexapro for anxiety and the same thing happened to me. I gained 15 lbs.
I have been on atkins for 2 months now and have lost the 15 but seem to be stuck at my present weight.
wishing you luck and it is the anxiety pills SSRI's that cause weight gain.
suggestions and advice please
