In reply to starting paroxetine hydrochloride..., posted by innterested on April 5, 2010, at 23:06:21
> i am about to start this to treat anxiety and have been reading about some side effects, am curious about weight gain related to the medication... I was taking seroquel last year and had increased appetite gained about 10kgs and have almost managed to lose this through begginning a diet and exercise regime.

> was wondering if it's just the increased appetite that makes you gain weight i.e if i continued eating the same and exercising the same i would gain weight..?
> might sound a bit silly.... thanks :)I would be more worried about a possible withdrawal syndrome with this medication. I'm sure people have benefited on this drug, but i have seen some concerning data on Paxil.
No it is not just the increased appetite. In fact, no one knows exactly what it is: it could be the way in which these drugs effect fat cells, possible changes in the way the hypothalamus functions, etc etc etc etc.......................
