I gained 40 pounds on Paxil. I woke up one night, eating a sandwich, in a chair in front of my fridge.
I don't know how much of my overall weight gain was food and how much of it was a metabolic change, but I know it was humanly impossible to have gained 40 pounds in 3 months based on what I was eating. But I did a lot of self medicating with food. I had a doctor tell me once that they put some people on Paxil to
lose weight. But that's been 10 years.
I was also on Zoloft after a nasty divorce, and I know I gained a few pounds, but nothing major. Again, I had food contributing to the equation - lots of fast food and restaurant food until I got settled again, and of course some comfort food! Personally, the small gain on Zoloft was far outweighed by the improvement in the quality of my life! I don't take anything now, but wouldn't be afraid to start Zoloft again.
