hi, I am on paxil and it has helped with my anxiety and depression considerably, i haven't gained any weight at all in fact it made me lose my appetite... I am on 10 mg which is a small dose and it seems to just calm me down and not make me too tired... I take wellbutrin 100 mg on the days I want to have sex and it takes care of the side effects just great, it increase my sex drive almost immediately... i also take drug holidays on the weekends and only take wellbutrin, you don't lose the effect of the paxil and your sex drive returns within 36 hours...
try wellbutrin as an add on, it really helps!
