Anyone here take Paxil?
 

My wife has been given Paxil for her post-partum blues and discovered that Weight Gain is a possible side effect.....

Does anyone know anything about this drug as the online searches are too general, and I want to give her honest reassurance that she'll be fine without her coming after me three months and 40 pounds later....

I think juicy does

yeah thats what i thought, hope he sees the thread :)

I been taking paxil for around 6-7 years and never gained weight on it, I think i actually lost weight on it.

I don't take it, but have a couple of friends that do.
Ironically, one of their side effects is REDUCED appetite.
Go figure!

I took it for a while... Its one of those side-affects that could hit you

It probably could do a lot of other things if you read all those horrid leaflets

With things like this its often better not to know

she'll be happy to hear that :)

Paxil is one of the less side effect depression meds ive took, Only thing i ever got was like 2 weeks of limp dick but that shit went away fast.

if she continues to eat the way she does now, she shouldn't gain any weight.
weight gain as a side effect has a lot to do with the drug making you hungry or crave food. if you don't give into it, you should be fine. this isn't 100% but it has a lot to do with it.

Paxil
 

My doctor ran out of ideas on why I was having breathing problems so said to take Paxil ... I did and had a smaller appetite and lost weight. Tell your wife that she will look better and feel better all because of a happy pill :thumbsup

thats total bullshit, I took zyprexa and it added a good 100lbs to me, Made me gain weight so fast it got stretch marks, Year later i stopped taking it and those 100lbs came off as fast as they went on.

Dont take it highly addictive

causes poor libido

yeah no shit, Its hard to fuckin get off paxil, You stop taking it youre mind feels like its disconnected with your body sucks so bad haha.

i actually lost weight initailly on it

I am on 40 mg /day now CR is off the market

Juicy your sig is fucking HUGE, I utterly have to scroll half page to get past the thing haha

I was on 40mg and stopped taking 20mg of it because the script is like 50 bucks a month so i desided id make it 2 months worth ;) didnt feel any change in it either..

I pay 10/copay for 1 month supply

I take xanax also . Paxil is addictive , I would suggest any other SSRI

lucky fucker, Co Pay is only on doctor visits and surgeries and shit for me, Scripts are covered pretty good compared to the price of paxil with out insurance like what 200 bucks for a month? haha

All SSRI's are addictive just paxil has some wicked ass withdrawls if you dont take it for a few days.
