[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 211907, member: 3305"] Hi Sharon, I know for myself that it took many years for me to finally try a medicine to help relieve my depression...at Great urging by the board, once upon a time, because it was Very obvious that I was in tremendous emotional pain. So I finally took Lexapro...it relieved the depression, mostly for me, but also had "side effects" namely mania. I also got "hooked" on Klonpin for awhile and went through a fairly serious physical withdrawal over that medication. I have since been diagnosis with Bipolar and now take Abilify but like you, had started gaining weight, and it was REally bothering me so I switched medications for awhile. I am Back on the Abilify...regardless of the weight issue now because I simply love how this medication affects me and my emotional state is more important to me than my body weight at this point. I hope if you Really need the help that you will accept it. Maybe the Paxil WILL work better than Lexapro did for you. Sure sounds like you are under alot of stress and could use some relief. Hope you find what works For YOU. hugs, Tammy [/QUOTE]
