I noticed that a member is trying to withdraw from paxil.<BR>One of the reasons being weight gain.<P>I have been on Paxil for approx 18 mos. They have been a great help for me with no serious side effects. During this time I have put on approx 30 pounds. I asked my Dr. if the weight gain was one of the side effects. She told me it wasn't.<P>I am just wondering if many others have had weight gain, while taking Paxil?<P><BR>PS. My D and I, started to exercise tonight.

Hello P1, My doctor indicated that weight gain is a very common side effect as is weight loss. However, anyone I know that is taking Paxil (quite a few peopl) has gained on average, 20 pounds. <P>Hope that helps.

I lost weight on Paxil but everyone that I know has GAINED weight on it, almost without exception. My brother's Dr told him that weight gain was a side effect.

Hi Patient,<P>On Paxil I gained weight. That coupled with not being able to take my throid meds I look like the rolly polly dough boy. As if the affairs and verbal and emotional abuse was not enough. <P>Good news is my doctor changed me to cexela. No more weight gain. She was really worried about how much I had gained on Paxil. She informed me it was a side effect of Paxil. Not sure but check out cexela. I only take 10mg a day and feel really good on it.

I've been on Paxil 1 year. I've gained 20 lbs but then again I've been eating like a pig! I'm losing weight now because I'm eating right and running. I reduced my dosage until I started feeling bad. Now I know what minimum dosage I need to "survive".
