> It really is amazing to work out really hard, eat well and GAIN weight!
> I have talked with and read many things since i discovered that this weird weight gain/inability to really lose was SSRI associated 3 weeks or so ago.
> What i heard people say who went thru and recovered from it was: ..it takes awhile to gain whil taking the meds...will take awhile to lose....seems maybe 6 months....HOWEVER..in almost every case i read or talked directly with people about..the weight DID COME OFF.
> Here's to thinking about a thinner me. :-)I took paxil for about 8 months...in that time I gained about 25 pounds...I have been off paxil for about 2 years now and I am just now starting to lose the weight I gained. I think my metabolism is slowly getting back to normal. When I started taking the medication I weighed 118, I weighed 142 when I stopped taking it cold turkey. Now I weigh about 130, so in about 6 months I have lost about 12 lbs. Hope this helps :)
