I was on Paxil for a little under a year. I was on it for anxiety and depression. All the anti-depressants I was on (paxil being the worst) caused me to gain weight. Not good weight either, we're talking working out hard 6 days a week and still trying to fight off "love-handles" But of course I was all natural, no juice (still am).
It helped anxiety but getting fat didn't help the depression. It had a bunch of other side-effects. My libido was GONE. The thought of sex was actually a turn-off. It also numbed my feelings, I didn't care about shit, nor did ever really feel "happy" ...just blah.
I'm now off all prescribed AD's and found GHB to be the best and only real Anti-depressant. It improved my sleep, work-outs and especially my libido. It also KILLS my anxiety with still allowing me to still feel all my emotions. Not to mention I lost the spare tire that paxil put on my waste.
This isn't exactly going to happen to everyone, but most of the people I talk to have more problems with it than without. Anyways, it helps some I wish you the best of luck bro.
