Does paxil cause weight loss?

Highly unlikely to cause long-term weight loss as clinical studies show Paxil is linked to weight gain. Any initial weight drop is just your body adjusting to the drug's digestive side effects. Talk to your psychiatrist if it persists.

Usually, it's the opposite! Most people crave parathas and sweets on Paxil. But if you are losing weight, maybe the anxiety reduction is making you eat more mindfully, or your stomach is still adjusting to the new medicine.

Look, Paxil generally makes people put on weight, not lose it. If you are experiencing rapid weight loss, it might be due to initial nausea or something else. Don't sit on it, go talk to your doctor directly.

While weight gain is more common, everyone's body is unique! Some people definitely experience a drop in weight initially due to mild nausea. Just keep your doc updated and take care! 🌟

When I was on Paxil, my weight actually increased slightly over six months. I didn't experience any weight loss at all, but I know people who felt too nauseous to eat during the first ten days.

I totally get it, worrying about weight fluctuations when starting mental health meds is so stressful. Sometimes the initial side effects can temporarily suppress your appetite. Please be gentle with yourself and give your body some time to adjust.

I am about to start this medicine next week and I was actually worried about weight changes. Does it cause sudden weight loss or is it a gradual thing? I'm a bit nervous about how my body will react.
