Paxil CR to Effexor XR

Posted by Macsimus on August 12, 2004, at 14:57:24

Hello Everyone,
First time poster, long time reader. I have been taking Paxil CR for 2 years. I ballooned to 230 pounds from 160. The doc told me the paxil was the cause. Well because of the weight gain and laziness it brought with it, I was too depressed and un motivated to do anything. I went back to the doctor and he gave something called Effexor XR. He wants me to take 12.5mg paxil (from 25mg) and 37.5mg of Effexor XR. I have been doing this for about 4 days. My luck, I got a head cold about 2 days into it so now I feel terrible lol. To top it all off, it is 96 degrees outside. Anyway, I just wanted to find out if anyone has done this transition and if I made the right choice.

btw..I have lost 5 pounds since I started but I am pretty sure that its because I am sick.

Thanks for your replies in advance.
