I was taken off Paxil and Serequl back in late May...I had horrible and I mean horrible withdrawal symptoms from the Paxil. I'm on a very small dose now to make the weaning process a lot slower and better. I'm still using Klonopin. I wanted to get off the Paxil and Serequel for many reasons, weight gain was not the sole reason but was the big consideration, I gained 30+lbs. Not being on the meRAB though has made me so manic and depressed, I'm more paranoid and am crying all the time, sometimes I have rage and can't go out anywhere without thinking everyone is watching me or judging me. Every morning I wake up with knots in my stomach and I'm in the bathroom getting sick..my bowels are emptying out more than normal. Not to mention I have not had a job in 5 months due to the economy and that is not helping either, I've been turned way from so many jobs and finally had to file for unemployment which I still do not know if I'll get or not..that's another stressful process in its self. Again, like I said, I've never felt this bad in my life, it's been 6 weeks. I don't think my family knows just how bad it really is, all I hear is "hang in there hang in there" and hearing that makes me more angry. I'm not contemplating suicide or anything but there are times I just want to leave my frienRAB and family and take off and go where nobody knows me, I have no control over anything. I'm afraid going back on the meRAB will cause me to gain more weight, I'm already 20lbs overweight and going to the gym and eating healthy never work I can't even enjoy shopping and have no summer clothes, but I feel as though the meRAB are gonna save me..what gives? Are there any meRAB out there that do not cause weight gain? I'm in a friend's wedding next month too, it's hurting so bad that I don't even want to be in it.
 
Hey Daises,
When you went off paxil, did you slowly ween off of it? If you stop taking an antidepressant cold turkey it will have horrible withdrawal effects. Maybe that's what you experienced. But good for you for trying to battle it without meRAB. I know what you mean, I'm on prozac and put on a few pounRAB because of it. I think there are antidepressants out there that don't cause weight gain, I'm just not sure what they are. Your best bet would be to talk to a doctor.
