I think that from the point of view of assessing the doctor's culpability, there are some issues to consider:
1) Why did he take you off of Paxi? When you initially went to the doctor, did you tell him that the Paxil was not working very well?
2) When you started to feel bad after stopping Paxil, did you call the doctor to let him know?
3) When and why did you go to the ER? And why the ER instead of your regular doctor or your pdoc?
When I consulted with a pdoc a few years a go, he had never heard that a side effect of Paxil was weight gain! I have read many posts about weight gain with Paxil.
