Most of the time, it's caused by sitting on cold surfaces or just standing on your feet for too long. The best fix? Soak 5 dried prunes in a small bowl overnight. Eat them first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Just prep them the night before and keep it up for a month. It’ll clear right up. I've tried it myself.
I’ve been on 20 mg of Paxil myself. And listen—don't let anyone talk you into drinking alcohol. I'm telling you this as a friend because I'm right there in the same boat as you.
Hey. We’re in the same boat. I lost my job and the debt is hitting me from every angle. I've been on 20 mg of Paxil; it helps a little, but I'm losing weight fast. Every time I think about my situation, my stomach knots up and I get this lump in my throat. I have zero appetite. My sex drive is basically non-existent, too—people say that's the Paxil, if you believe them. You aren't alone in this. There are plenty of us. People tell me to "just stop thinking about it," but that’s not how I work. I can't just let someone else foot my bills. Let's try to tackle these problems together with some good people. I take my Paxil in the morning and definitely hit the Lexapro 3 mg in the afternoon. Especially when the weather turns bad, I get this internal restlessness that's impossible to describe. When I vent to friends, it feels like they aren't even listening because they don't live it. That's all for now. Wishing you and everyone else on here facing this the same struggle a speedy recovery.
Is it actually possible to lose weight while taking Paxil?
Hey everyone. First time posting here, just looking for some help from good people. I feel like I'm losing my mind. There’s this constant inner restlessness that I used to manage with 3mg of Lexapro. It works, but before that hits, I get this heavy feeling in my chest—like I can't catch my breath. It feels like I can't breathe from my stomach, which panics me, sends me straight to the local clinic, and it's always the same cycle until I finally saw a psychiatrist who put me on Paxil. Now I'm taking 20mg every single day, but the scale is showing less weight, and that really worries me. I get this nausea, almost like I need to burp constantly, and when I sit down to eat, I have zero appetite. I'm forcing myself to eat just because I have to. Has anyone else dealt with this? Thanks a lot.
