I have been on Paxil for ten years now and have gained about 30 extra pounds. Prior to the Paxil I was 112 and had been since high school. I always attributed the weight gain to my age (40 - 50 years). I have also tried to quit taking the Paxil several times and have experienced extreme mood swings, even sobbing while watching commercials. I have always resumed the medication thinking I was still in depression because of these mood swings. I will try again now that I know the cause of the weight and that it may not be the depression but the side effects of quitting the meds. Thanks.
Has anyone else experienced the mood swings when trying to get of Paxil?
