A mere 10mg of Paxil kicked my butt (and I weigh 225 lbs, too) - sick, dizzy, light-sensitive eyes, upset stomach. It was miserable. I called the doc & he told me it would take a few days for the side-effects to go away. I couldn't wait that long because I couldn't take the time off work, so I quit after 3 - 4 days. But what a miserable & weird 3 days it was.

I haven't investigated any other meds yet because the insurance coverage causes a big tangled mess to get through before you can get authorized to see a psychologist or psychiatrist.

St. John's Wort has to be taken fairly regularly for about a month before it has any mood-lightening effects. If you're a sun-worshipper, put on extra sunscreen - it can cause photosensitivity & dermatitis. Also, if you have ragweed allergies, avoid it.
