I just switched from Paxil (gained 20lbs)to Serzone, hoping to lose the extra weight. It's definitely a bummer to hear your story. I don't know what it is about these meds that plays such havoc on body composition, but I hate it. Last year, I was taking Wellbutrin. I ran 30min a day and lifted weights for 4 hours a day. I wasn't fat, but I certainly shouldn't have had the excess body fat that I did.
I've heard some positive feedback from people switching to Serzone from Paxil, but your story is unnerving. I'd be interested to hear the experiences of others who have made the SSRI to Serzone switch for the same reason.
