drunksunflower,
He just sounded kind of ...I don't know....hinky I guess to me. Weight gain is a side effect of many drugs but I don't think Paxil is too bad compared to some of the others. You should ask. There are some out now that I think do not have that particular side effect.

If one were "drug seeking" to get a buzz I do not believe anyone would seek paxil. So I doubt he thought this unless he just is..uhmmm...not as knowledgable about these things as he should be.? lol

I assume this was not a psychiatrist? Maybe that could be an option. I would rather, if it were me, explain things over than to be misdiagnosed but I really do understand your reluctance at having to go over it again. It can be hard enough the first time.

Whatever your choice, feel free to seek support and ask questions here.

Also, do not be reluctant to ask the doctor questions. It is his job and you are paying him for it. if he does not take time to answer then definately get a new Dr.

Let us know how it turns out and if you need support we are here.

take care ,
