I've been on Paxil 20 mg since July... I've gained about 12 pounds since then. While I don't think it is just the Paxil, I think the Paxil has given me a lazy, "who cares" feeling. Like I'll throw stuff in my mouth with no control. No motivation to exercise. Anyone else have this problem?

Don't dismiss the idea of the Paxil as being the culprit. I know for a fact that it can pack on the weight and in a big big way. My daughter while in college was on Paxil and she gained so much weight very quickly and it didn't come off either. She had never been so overweight ever til the Paxil. And my sister in law the same thing, she had to get off the Paxil and onto something else, she gained a lot of weight, which did not help with her high blood pressure and she also has had strokes. Check into it, and ask your doctor about something else you can take. Best of luck.
