A member asked:
Can you please tell me the real life chances of weight gain on paxil (paroxetine)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very possible: While many antidepressants may list weight gain as a possible side effect, this can be due to many factors including improved appetite with the resolution of depression. However, many patients on Paxil (paroxetine) commonly have weight gain as a direct effect of the medications actions on histamine receptors.
