I've been on Paxil for a month now (for very mild ocd) and lately I've been hungry every two hours, is normal?

Question:

Would Paxil cause you to be hungry very often throughout the day? Anyone ever experience this? What did you do to keep from getting obese?

Answers:
Paxil is not known for weight gain, it is actually suppose to decrease your appetite. I have been on paxil for 5 months now and I am hungry every couple of hours also, I would suggest vegetables carrots, celery, cucumbers, and tomatoes.. you may need to speak with your doctor and let him or her know that you are hungry all the time. Little snacks won't hurt as long as they are healthy if they are not you will have problems with getting heavy. Good luck with whatever you choose to do..
