I personally gained weight on paxil. I am a VERY strict dieter and a gym rat. I used to be 5' 10" 150lbs, 6-7% body fat. On Paxil (still working out and dieting) I went up tp 168lbs about 12-13% body fat.
It's strang that your doc is putting you on a SSRI's from a benzo. Benzo's seem to be the best treatment with least amount of side-effects. I'll NEVER go back to SSRI therapy for anxiety again. I'm sticking with my Klonopin, Dexedrine, and a little Celexa (for depression).
