Hi trex,
I hear you here. I don't think some docs are up on the impact of SSRI's and metabolism either but some are wonderful:-)
I didn't even notice if I gained weight on Paxil-didn't take it that long, ended up in ER with chills, sweats, and manic as all get out!
I really hope you find a med that works for ya!
Can I ask how many mg of Trazadone you are trying? I tried it like for 2 nights-but didn't notice any help for sleep. My pdoc suggested it for sleep, but at the moment, I'm not on it. Still thinking about it though.
Take Care, Kristen:-)
==================================================================================================I am male and am gaining weight on Paxil even though my eating is pretty good...I plan to wean off Paxil for this and other side effects...am trying Buspar and trazadone to sleep. My cardiologist says I just need more exercise and eat less, but I don't think he is up on the impact of SSRI's and metabolism. My eating and exercise is already pretty good. But try telling a cardiologist his business...
