Two years ago a doctor put me on PAXIL for my first time around with any drugs for depression and anxiety...i was 21. He didn't mention in the beginning that alot of people have weight gain. I found out the hard way. I gained 20+ pounds in 4 months!! I was miserable..it helped the depression but being overweight and not having any of your clothes fit isn't great either. Went off of that and have since tried zoloft and celexa. I didn't notice any significant weight gaini with those but in the last two years I've had NO success in losing the 20+ pounds I gained and that in and of itself is enough to drive you into a depression. Just started Effexor XR today so we'll see. I'd love to lose some weight. I appreciated the boards...it was good to hear others opinions and stories...especially about the Paxil...I was about to think I just pigged out and became lazy overnight!!
