Ya, I've had past SO's that did not understand one bit, and they acted like I was crazy all the time. Also I gained 20 pounds on remeron, it made me want to eat everything sugary.

I was in the hospital (state facility) and ate between 1000 and 1200 calories a day on their food when I gained 40 pounds. I also walked around the campus alot, like every single day multiple times a day. I also walked on the treadmill or multiple times up and down the hall alot. So it wasnt the amount I was eating unfortunately. It was the medication.

Ya it's side affect of it, a lot of others have gained weight on it too from what I read online.

Yea I figured it was a side effect. Especially since the psychiatrist warned me about it with my eating disorder

My doctor prescribed it to me because I was having a hard time eating. It got so bad that I was 105 lbs and it was hard to eat anything because it hurt to eat.

He prescribed it to help with my sleeping and nightmares. He had me taking it while in the hospital at 5 PM. It made me so sleepy I would sleep in the evenings. Until I was woken up to take my sleeping pills and then go to sleep for the night. Lol

I take medication.
When I'm having a panic attack I have certain things I do to calm me down. For some reason watching the movies "Ever After" or "Clerks 2" always calms me down.

So does watching random, mind numbing crap on tv.

Does anyone take Paxil because I heard it really helps but i'm so scared to try meds like this!!

My MIL takes it. She is EVIL if she doesn't take it. But it seems to help her.
