Usually I start to see myself slimming down a bit, even if its barely noticable, but the past few days I have been noticing myself seem a little puffy or fatter...does paxil cause edema, water retention at all? Differentially moreso than other SSRIs which have never given me this problem? Or bloating?

Not good news, I'm afraid.

Paxil is the SSRI that is associated with the greatest amount of weight-gain. I'm pretty sure that it is all fat. I don't know what to tell you regarding water retention.
