I've been taking Lex for 2 months now. Started at 10 for the first 4 weeks and bumped to 20 for the past 4 weeks...honestly, short of weight gain I'm not seeing any significant differences.
I was on Paxil about 3 years ago, and then went off to get pregnant. Fast forward to now, I decided to give it a shot again. Tried the new Paxil CR - hated it. I figured it must have been placebo b/c there was no change at all. My husband was as annoying as ever!
The only considerable change is the SE's I have. The sweating can be really bad for me, and I have never been a "sweater", I also have noticed an increase in jaw clenching...but attributed that to my lack of patience. Maybe it's the Lex. I guess I can't say for sure.
What I have noticed is that the indecisiveness (is that even a word?) has not lessened at all. And now, since minor things tend to not be sooo major anymore - I am less likely to have any compassion for my husbands tantrums about computer nonsense...thus causing an argument.Anyway - it has also caused me to ramble on quite a bit!
I am most concerned about the weight gain. I have not altered my diet in any way, and I am in the gym at least 4 days a week faithfully. A little more than 15lbs in less than 2 months is a big concern. Has anyone else had this problem??
