[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 38217"] My experience with paxil for myself was great. It was the only one I have ever tried that made me feel better. However it eventually after several years caused weight gain. My MD told me I was on a real high dose he would never put anyone on such a high dose. I gained 30 lbs. in three months. I also was taking ambien because I had such trouble sleeping. (didn't help that I worked 3rd or 2nd shift). But, after the weight gain a year or so ago, I went off all medications. Lost almost all the weight, but recently gained half of it back. With new job I am much less active and tend to munch most of the shift. Wish I had a normal hour job. my difficult child was put on Paxil when he was 6 due to anxiety, not eating, thought he would die if he took a bite. He did not do well on it. Had a real hard time taking him off with side affects making him very dizzy. I had the same issue when I went off. The eating issue occurred after a neighbor man who he adored had passed away in his sleep. Once he found out, he wouldn't eat. Six weeks until easy child got him to eat a french fry. difficult child was also on Prozac at one time. Did not do well with that either, however did not stay on it very long. [/QUOTE]
