I am looking for a ssri medication that does not have weight gain as a side effect. I was a complete mess with social phobia to the point that I did not even dare to ride in the same vehicle as anyone else. I couldn't even handle my mom coming over to my house. I had to work a graveyard job that require no or limited human contact. Even the phone ringing sent me into complete panic. I was always real thin as was everyone on both lines of my family. No matter what I did I would not wiehg over 110 pounds(american). My mom kidnapped me forced me to drive with her to Las Vegas and see a doctor. HE put me on Paxil. Within 5 months I weigh 165 pounds. Yes that much that quick. BUT I was sympton free. I was back to being a social butterfly like I was before I started having social panic. I partied, traveled, got a better job working with people. But the wieght ended up putting me back at home ashamed of how I looked. Not paniced but I looked huge and everyone commented on it. NOt paraniod comenting like I had with social phobia but they would actually tell me I was fat. My mom would call me obese every day. Well I have been off of it for a year and a half now and have lost most of the weight. IT was hell but now I am at 135. But now my social phobia is back in full force. I do not want to gian anymore wieght because I have been on a daily mission to loose it for 18 months now. And I don't want it to be all for nothing.
