well most anti-depressants will make you gain weight yes but they are not sure if it is because you are happier or the drug itself. if you are depressed and you need it you should take it. they saved my life more then a few times. good luck and be blessed

I was prescribed Paxil a few years ago. I wound up gaining 20 pounds after taking it for about a year. I tried dieting and exercising but nothing helped. After a year my doctor took me off of it and I did really well with my anxiety for 2 years. I also wound up losing the weight. Then my anxiety started again and I had to go back on it. The weight also returned. I've also talked to 3 other people who have also gained weight while taking Paxil.
