Hi,
I have been on other SSRIs, but the past week and a half have been on Paxil at 25mg, now just going up to 50mg. I have been exercising every single day, high intensity. Usually I start to see myself slimming down a bit, even if its barely noticable, but the past few days I have been noticing myself seem a little puffy or fatter...does paxil cause edema, water retention at all? Differentially moreso than other SSRIs which have never given me this problem? Or bloating?
Why is that?
Or maybe I am imagining it. I can't afford to look any fatter, and i'm trying my hardest to lose weight now, so water retention is a bad deal. I think i'm going to go back on a low-carb diet though, that always helps.
