In reply to Paxil and Wt. Gain??, posted by Laura on January 7, 2002, at 20:12:48
> Hi everyone - I have been on Paxil since October - I have also been on Wt. Watchers to loose weight. I am not having much luck with the Weight Watchers program and I am really sticking with it. I think the Paxil may be causing some wt gain although I weighed less right after I started taking it - I now weigh more.

I gained 25-30 lbs on Paxil. Supposedly if you switch to a low carb diet (lots of meats and veggies, not much breads and pastas) it helps. Good luck.MB
