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?
