Thanks for replying, Jean. I don't plan too much these days, but doing something nice for myself sounds good.

I've never tried Lexipro or Effexor. I've heard good things about both of them. Paxil also helped me to gain unwanted weight and I've heard that Effexor does not. I don't know about Lexipro.

Thanks for your help. I will ask my Doc about those two.

Sorry you're feeling down. If you go off Paxil, make sure you taper off sloooowly, we get pretty addicted to it and it takes a long time to wean off.

Lexapro is a good one too because it can help with some sensory problems too. So it might be worth a try. Don't think it affects sexual function like some of the others and weight gain doesn't seem to be as bad on it either. Might be worth a try!

Good for you that you're trying to find answers in the midst of feeling so lousy. You are a strong lady and I really admire your willingness to find a way out of it!

Hope you can sort out the AD and get back on track.
