Hi everyone
I've been on Paxil CR for anxiety/dperession since Oct and in Dec gained about 15 lbs, which no amount of working out and eating healthy is seeming to fix. I normally have a good metabolism, so I'm wondering if psych meds cause weight gain by messing up metabolism as well as causing cravings( which I can override). I like the Paxil, though the weight is intolerable.
My friend gained 20 lbs when she was on CHEMO and unable to eat much of anything at all, so obviously some weight gains or chemical, some are behavioral-- any input appreciated! Are there any meds like Paxil that dont cause this much weight gain?
cheers
