Paxil is an amazing mediacation for Social Phobia and Anxiety problems. I was on it for three years and it was the happiest I have ever been in my life. If you are someone who normally freaks out before going to a social functions or even casual get together at someones house, it works wonders. You do not get the intense sweating, flushing of the cheeks, hives and trembling. You can function, leave the house, not cancel on friends, not flake out on social gatherings, it is great. But you do get really fat. You turn into a little fatty before you even know it. You are fat and happy. It seems to be resistant to diet and exercise as well. The sad thing is, is that you do not care... Your vanity and severe insecurity completely goes away. Too much so, before you know it you are fat and puffy. I call it the Paxil Puff Up. Does anyone know a good Social Phobia drug that does not make you gain weight? Please no SSRI's even Lexapro made me into a little fat girl w/ dizziness.
