Hi,
I just recently weaned myself from Paxil due to weight gain and the sexual side effects. I was, however, very pleased with the efficacy of the Paxil. I am wondering whether another SSRI would produce the same results without the same weight gain, sse, and withdrawal after discontinuation. To those of you who had success with Paxil, have you been on another SSRI with similar results yet different side effects? If I gained weight with Paxil, will I most likely gain weight with the other SSRIs? If Paxil was effective, will the others most likely be effective? Just trying to decide if it's worth it to try another SSRI. (I have GAD and tried Busbar but it seems to make on the verge of a panic attack which I wasn't in the first place...go figure.)Thanks in advance for your opinions and experiences.
