16 yrs ago I started my ssri journey with Paxil which was wonderful for a while then just stopped working. Coming off of it was difficult due to brain zaps and other weird feelings but it was possible. I gained 100 lbs in one yr from Paxil and the doctors kept telling me it wasn’t from Paxil. Well yes, it was and also is with every other antidepressant except Wellbutrin which didn’t help w my panic attacks. I’m 61, Cymbalta helps but also makes you hungry and gain weight. I’d like to come off Cymbalta bc of the weight but only missing one day I had bad withdrawal. Not sure what to do.
