Yes also hungrier (initially). These side effects go away after ~2 months. My hunger level because normal, but I was consistently about 10 lbs heavier. My usual weight was about 155lbs, and this kept me in the 165 range. Trouser size also increased. If it is helping your psychological state, stick with it. The doctor tried Lexapro for me, but that didn’t help as much as Paxil. Life is all about trade offs, and your mental health outweighs anything else imho. Don’t fret it, and focus on getting your life back on track. I’m not aware of your situation, but work to change the toxic attributes that are causing your depression. It will take time, but stay the course. Sending you well wishes 🤗

Yes, I gained 10-15 lbs, however it’s benefits outweighed the weight increase

Thank you! It’s more for anxiety. I took it years ago and it worked wonders. I started it again for five days and it made me so drowsy that I stopped. Doctor also gave me anti anxiety stuff not for daily use so want to explore that again first. I took this week off and feel much more at ease!

It takes about 2-3 weeks to kick in. I would go easy on the anti anxiety (I’m assuming it’s klonazopan or similar benzodiazepines), as they are great, but make you sleepy and are also highly addictive. Just use them short term and wean off from them sooner than later. Glad you’re feeling better!

Yea, I have benzo but will only use if I’m feeling truly debilitated by anxiety. Like a few weeks ago it took me an entire day to write one email, that was bad lol. But thank you!!

I just started my third trimester and recently fractured one of my molars while eating soft fries (not sure how), but I had a root canal done on that tooth years ago so the tooth is actually a crown. I went to a dentist for consult and the dentist informed me that I will need a new crown since I lost a big chunk of the old one. The dentist wouldn’t even consider any other options because he doesn’t believe there is a good temporary fix… (More in comments)

I accidentally overshared information about having anxiety and trouble focusing with someone who is kind of important at the company and now I regret it. She never responded and probably forgot about it but my husband told me that I shouldn’t have done that and I shouldn’t share things like that with people at work unless you are really close with them and now I’m freaking out and crying because I’m scared she will remember that and tell my boss or other higher up people.
