If Paxil makes you gain weight and Topamax makes you lose weight, what happens when you take them together? If Paxil makes you gain weight and Topamax makes you lose weight, what happens when you take them together? Do you gain weight on Paxil because you simply get hungry and eat more or because you don't burn it off as in it slows your metabolism? Thx.

Melissa replied: "it slows your metabolism. with me, i was simply not hungry and didn't eat. it threw me in mania and i was drinking too much and came close to committing suicide. it may not do those things, i think the drinking isn't supposed to be in there ive never taken topamax."

How long does it take to get back complete sexaul function when quiting paxil, physical sensations along with ? I have been on paxil 20 mg for abou 6 years started at 14. I weaned off slowly and have been clean off the paxil for 3 months. I just don't find the sexual sensation are the same. How long does it take for everything to get back to normal.

P. Nis replied: "There could be some other issue regarding sexual function. The paxil has been out of your system for plenty of time for that not ot be it. As for sexual sensation, I would have to say that it may very well be normal but as it's been so long (6+years) that you just don't realize it."

what can an 11 year old take to help focus in school when she already takes paxil for anxiety? she was taking concerta but is having headaches. i don't trust the doctor as websites say when you take paxil there are certain drugs you should avoid. help please? of course a psychiatrist is prescribing these drugs. medication was a last resort for us after years of therapy and medical tests including testing for food allergy. no abuse, believe me i resisted medication as long as i could.

░Tyler░ (The real one- level 4!) replied: "See a psychiatrist, they're smarter than any website. They might try giving her Adderall."

Antony A replied: "drink lots water"

chubb replied: "Omega 3 tablets may help also if you chew chewing gum you improve concentration by 36%."

Viktoria Z replied: "matbe zoloft ask ur doctor not answers thats sorta personal"

tweedjimmy replied: "is it really safe for an 11yr old to be taking paxil? and then more drugs on top of that? i would seriously look at her diet perhaps she has allergies to the crap our food is pumped full of"

alex replied: "stratera, maybe...my husband was on it for a long time during a school years, wellbutrin"

spotlite replied: "I have alot of natural ideas, too many to discuss..I know of a food supplement product line that is better than any other simply because it has clinical research to support it.. the co. has been in the food supplement business longer than anyonelse that has any research to support it.. so email me and I will help you with this.."

Nicole J replied: "see a doctor they will help. they will do their best to help"

northstar replied: "The core problem is not being dealt with, these are simply symptoms. An eleven year old on paxil is serious. Any of these medications have long term effects on the overall health of a body and hers is just growing! As a parent l would be doing everythign possible to find out the problem and deal with it without the band-aid effect of a serious drug that is going to destroy liver tissue. Just get her into a specialist who can find out what is going on...perhaps she is being abused under your nose?"

Dr. Tough Love replied: "take her off medications...jeez, what are we doing here?"

kicking4jc replied: "I don't have an answer to the focus question, but be careful with her being so young on paxil. It gave me sucidal thoughts at 16. It made me very jittery and edgy."

Peripatetic replied: "STOP TAKING MEDICIN..Immediately....consult with parents and go to see an specialist. Parents also should consult with the teachers and hopefully this matter would be over. The 11-year should be advised to : Take good sleep at night and take hot milk and honey at night before sleep.."

gtatix replied: "i hope she is being medicated professionally - preferably a psychiatrist or similar. I think paxil is NOT USED usually for this young an age. If you are self medicating.......get a psychiatrist to ween her off or recommend it - which I can't really see. The side effects and problems associated with dose and cessation of SSRIs and similar drugs are IMMENSE and INCLUDE concerns about SUICIDE and bizarre thoughts as well as a sense of being out-of-sorts etc. THERE ARE CONTRAINDICATIONS WITH THESE MEDS....some which can cause death especially when combining MAOs. DO NOT MEDICATE WITHOUT A PROFESSIONALS INPUT when it comes to this stuff. AGAIN, I THINK 11 is too young for PAXIL. UPDATE: read above link: Paxil Not for Kids June 20 -- The FDA yesterday warned that children younger than 18 should not take the antidepressant Paxil because of a possible increased risk of "suicidal thinking and suicide attempts" associated with the drug. This statement from the FDA came on the heels of a similar warning on June 10 by British regulators. The drug is known as Seroxat in the UK"

agnes C replied: "See a specialist or get a second opinion. Alternative therapy may be better than actual medication or a combination of both. There are various coping strategies to help her deal with the anxiety attack before it happens. There are many websites that can help you in this. Hope this helps.All the best!"

gonesoon3 replied: "Perhaps your daughter has attention deficit disorder and needs treatment with a drug such as ritalin. Of course, this should be done completely and totally under medical supervision. But anxiety attacks in an eleven year old girl could be ADD instead. It would certainly be worth looking into, in my opinion. Please be careful with interaction issues in these drugs as it could be dangerous to your daughter''s health. Do not ever fail to tell your physician exactly what is being taken and the dosage. Also, medical science is warning that some psychotropic drugs used for treatment in children and teenagers can cause suicidal thoughts or behaviour. Proceed, please, carefully under complete medical supervision with parental observance for any behaviour changes. Also, if you are not comfortable with your physician; find someone else that you are comfortable with. Your daughter's health is of the utmost importance. Personally, I think we are involved in a society that depends too much on the use of drugs to solve too many of our problems. And the drugs themselves can cause a lot of problems. I would seriously wonder about Paxil being prescribed for an eleven year old. Period."

what happens when you take paxil at the same time as alcohol? Ive heard that you can die while washing down paxil with alcohol. I take 30mg paxil. What are the affects?

lisa J replied: "DONT DO IT! I got arrested twice in the past drinking whilst on anti depressants! combination is not good!"

Matthew L replied: "A lot of people take Paxil and drink."

auburngirlsc replied: "Alcohol is a depressant. You should not mix the two."

Andreeea rowaN! replied: "Death. Do not do it. Do not."

little78lucky replied: "paxil affects your liver function it is possible to get alcohol poisoning from ONE drink when taking a antidepressant I actually was hospitalized because of it"

lil sammy replied: "Well, just an example of one person, but my brother took it on his wedding day for anxiety, drank (too much) and got in a fight with his brother in law at the reception. Yikes! For me, I take Wellbutrin and have a couple now and then--with food--and am fine. I think the key is moderation and knowing your own limits."

What happens when you take diet pills while on paxil? I know you are not suppose to take diet pills while you are on a SSRI but does anyone know what happens if you do? I want to start taking them but not if the mix can be deadly.

danny h replied: "ask your dr. first. I take Paxil at night and diet pills in the am. It is going ok for me ."

Ms. Angel.. replied: "DIET Pills are dangerous alone, so mix with something else is even worse. Diet pills cause serious health issues. You don't need them, just change your eating habits, drink 64 ounces of water daily, eat breakfast, eat fruits and vegetable. Watch your portion sizes,buy a food scale and weigh your meats, and other foods, learn what a serving size is. Please no diet pills."

tamzin replied: "i would not recommend diet pills. You need a healthy meal plan which you will get good nutrition. This is a cellular nutrition program that helps you lose weight at the same time as being healthy. It is natural, safe and makes you feel fantastic, and is safe to take with medications, or even when pregnant. go to"

How long does it take to feel results when on Paxil CR (or any antidepressant)? I'm on Paxil CR, but I've only been taking it for about a week. I still feel the same. I personally don't think they work, which is why I didn't want any meds to begin with, but apparently I need to be controlled. I've heard it takes about a month if the dosage is right. I'm on 25mg. Can anyone confirm this?

Confused Mom replied: "They say it usually takes 4 to six weeks or more to get the full effect. My own experience was quicker, however. I think that some people have true chemical imbalances (myself included) and react much more quickly to the drug."

Hemi-HP replied: "Like any drug, it depends a lot on your body. The medicine itself has to build up to a certain level and that varies from person to person. It could take from one week to three weeks, give it some time. If after a month and you feel no difference I would talk to your doctor about it."

frediwhite@verizon.net replied: "There was a story yesterday that recent research found SSRI type drugs to be ineffective. Except at shutting down your love life, but they didn't say that. That's a small dose, so no surpises there. Frankly, I find St. John's wort to be better; I have fluoxetine -- generic Paxil -- on hand but have quit using it."

dkoi314 replied: "only took a week for me when i was on it...(different brand tho, same reason) two other people i know- it took a week to two wks. till they noticed change. it may not be the one for you if not working. id say either give it time or talk to your doctor about maybe changing to different type of medicine that may be better suited for you. i personally dont believe in all the antidepressants anymore myself, but good luck if you decide to use it x)"

Smiley :) replied: "It took my husband 2 months to get the full effects of his antidepressant! Hang in there and if u don't feel better have them find something that works for u!"

Check out Mistermanpower.com, its got a full guide on this that I've been following, and my testosterone has gone up, and so has my sex drive. Feel free to email me if you got any questions"

Q.T.π Reuben replied: "I was on Paxil for a while and was allowed to stop at the end of September. As I recall I was feeling normal within a couple of weeks. What's really bad is I have had to restart the Paxil about 4 weeks ago."

When is the best time to take my Paxil or Anti-Depressant? When is the best time to take my 20mg of paxil? Morning ? Afternoon? Before bed? Im new to this med and would love to find out what works best.

natpractitioner replied: "It's generally best to take it in the morning, okay in the afternoon and not advised in the evening or later. However, whatever time you take it should be consistent every day to keep the blood levels even.."

Nali replied: "never anti-depressants never work, they make your depression worse."

Kevan M replied: "Ask your doctor"

when getting off paxil anti deppressants how long would it take to get all your sex drive back sexual pleasure since paxil causes the genitals to become numb screws up orgasm and gives a low sex drive.

happy gilmore replied: "my guess, 2 weeks to a month"

Ted B replied: "ya, ur screwwed dude, that effect is permanent"

TIMOTHY H replied: "It only took one day when I switched from Prozac to Wellbutrin. The new med works great, give it a try."

is it safe to take the new anti-smoking drug when taking paxil? want to give up smoking but currently taking paxil for depression

cally l replied: "Don't try if your depressed wait till your head is clearer so you can make better decisions"

Jennifer B replied: "I'm assuming you are talking about Chantix. Your doctor should be able to answer this question. When he gives you a prescription, make sure he knows that you are taking paxil. If its okay, ask him what known side effects exist when taking them together. You're covered both ways. There is a study that shows that Chantix can be related to suicide tendencies and vivid dreams, so you may want to make sure you are on some type of antidepressant. "
