Not sure if this is the answer, but 6 yrs ago while I was on Paxil I had gained alot of weight which would not budge regardless of anything I did. During that time I became very ill, sleeping 16 hrs a day and couldn't do anything the other 8 hrs. Numerous visits to my doctor only resulted in the diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrom. I decided to see a naturopathic doctor who diagnosed me with candidiasis. She put me on a candida cleaning diet and I lost 40 lbs in the the 3 mos I was on it. The weight stayed off even after a switch to Effexor. However, when I stopped taking the Effexor and was put on Risperdal and Amitriptyline, I gained the 40 back. I've lost 30 of it so far while on Remeron without any effort.
