Weight Gain And Paroxetine Posted: 04-20-06 10:34am
I am 25 years old and very active. I
exersice every other day (i run about 3
miles and do some sit ups and back
exercises), I also eat very healthy..
Lots of fruits and vegetables... Very
little fried foods, and no junk food. I
try very very hard to keep my weight at a
place that makes me happy.
I am going on paroxetine starting today (i
have been on it before and went off it for
a couple of years).
I am terrified of gaining weight while on
it.. I have read many forums that say
this medication causes weight gain.. But
if I look out for my weight and keep
exersising and keep eating right.. Is it
true that I will definitley gain weight??
Even if my caloric intake does not
change????
I dont want to gain weight... But need to
be on this medication.. What is the best
thing to do in my situation?? How can I
keep taking this medication and not gain
wieght?
