Hi ya...I started taking paxil 7 months ago, right after the birth of my son. I was @ 160lbs.(due to pregnancy). Prior to pregnancy I was 100 - 110 lbs soak 'n wet :) I'm 5 ft. 1 & 1/2. I take 20 mg per day but I tend to forget if I've taken my dose or not & sometimes end up with 40 mg. in my system (my bad). I weigh aprox. 115lbs. now. I have noticed cravings for junk food that I "normally" wouldn't bother with. For example, I can eat an entire box of chips(200g)in one sitting or 2 chocolate bars or a tub of haggen daaz ice cream...(boy, now that I see it in black & white sounds pretty unhealthy)...I'm a vegetarian & prior 2 paxil was complete vegan (no dairy or meat). I take a multi-vitamin, vit.c, calcium/magnesium/vit.d, high potency b-compound, Co Q10+vit.e, pacific kelp,acidophilus,and vit.B2(antidepressants tend to deplete B2)...I drink TONS of water each day. I like walking but wouldn't say I exercise each day. I think the weight issue is pretty individual.
