Hi, I’m new here
I was hoping someone could help me. I suffer from depression and have
been on Paxil off and on. I was given Lexarp a year ago and only took
it for 2 weeks, it made me tired but not sad. I stopped taking it
after the 2 weeks. Everytime I think of being on a med for depression
I become so afraid. I know what it’s like getting off of them. I
gained 20lbs on Paxil. Since part of my depression is based on how
fat and ugly I feel that doesn’t help me. I will tell you I was very
happy with Paxil except for the weight which is why I got off in the
1st place. I am starting to get sick again and was thinking of giving
Lexapro a chance but, of course I’m afraid of the weight gain. When I
start taking a med I always think of when I will be getting off. What
I am trying to ask you guys is do you think I should stay away from
the drug and just go on like this. Please someone help me.
