Ok maybe that would explain why I and everyone else I know who has taken Paxil has gained 40 or so pounds. I took it for a total of 3 months about 2 yrs ago. I have been having problems losing weight b/c I'm so addicted to sugar. I HAVE to have it! Anyway, I know a drug rep and she says everyone who sells pharms calls Paxil pack-it-on-Paxil. I wonder how I can correct this?
