Re: 's mention about Paxil and weight gain

[Guest guest]

, I know what you mean about Paxil - I am off that now but did gain 18 at

the time. Which I did not need. Someone mentioned gaining weigjht with Elavil,

and I am on that now so I will watch it. Wouldn't you think they would warn

people? Janet

They have put me on Elavil, which I contribute with

helping me out alot. BUT...I have noticed a big

increase in my appetite. I am quite scared that the

weight is going to start adding up.

When I first started having the symptoms I actually

lost 5 pounds, I guess because I hurt so badly. But

since the Elavil I have gained about 8 pounds.

But we can hang in there. I hope your doctor can help

you, just remember we are here for you. I know it can

get depressing, but just think, you can come here and

talk about your poop. lol.

Lots of love,

I gained weight on Paxil also. Although one of the side effects listed is

weight loss and at one time there was a thought to use it as a diet pill!!!

Take care,
