You Don’t Have to Suffer from Anxiety

Off Paxil and I’ve Lost 8 pounds

I began to wean from Paxil to Celexa in June, 2006. (See http://www.myanxietyblog.com/done-with-paxil-finally/) I gradually began to lose weight. After the summer I fit into jeans 1-2 sizes smaller than what I had been wearing! I had been on Paxil so long that I didn’t realize it was keeping my weight at a certain level. Even though I am 59 years old and thought that I had reached the point where you just can’t get any weight off, it turns out the paxil was playing a role. I realize that I am not as hungry all day long like I used to be. I honestly don’t think I would have switched off the paxil just to lose weight, but I am glad this was a side effect. I actually thought something was wrong with me cause of the weight loss. But I had a check up and I am fine. Go figure.
