Does paxil (paroxetine) make you gain weight? and whst about pcos?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weight change + ?: Some report weight loss. Side effects vary with most antidepressants and yes, some report pcos. Research findings are inconsistent w/ respect to these effects but you need to discuss your experience with the doctor who prescribed. Do not stop w/out being monitored - it can be risky unless guided. Best wishes - hope this helps. http://www.ehealthme.com/ds/paxil/polycystic+ovarian+syndrome+(pcos).
