I remember being on it before like 11 years ago, it was the first med I ever tried for depression and I remember it worked but I dont remember it killing my appetite, but maybe that was because of all the other stuff I was doing that supressed my appetite, anyways now that I am taking it again I barely eat. I usually skip like one meal a day eat no snacks and half or less of what I was eating before. We went out to Outback the other day and they have the BEST salads of any place anywhere, and I only ate half of a small one and like four bites of mashed potatoes. Last night I had one piece of pizza and I ususally have 3 or 4. Anyways, I am NOT complaining, I love it, but I was just wondering if anyone else had that same side effect?

I was on Paxil CR when I was first diagnosed two years ago. I gained 20 lbs (which I'm still trying to lose) and was tired all the time. Then I switched to Lexapro which was a lot better.

I was on Paxil for a short time after I was first dxed. I only took it for a few days because it made me so sleepy I couldn't function. It didn't do anything to take away my appetite, though.
