madp,

I have been on 20 mg of Paxil for about 5 years now due to panic disorder. I have a very hard time losing weight and keeping it off. When I started on Paxil I was around 200 lbs (I'm 6'2"), now I am around 290 lbs. I am now 26 years old and I eat a 2200 calorie diet and exercise 3 times a week. That should be enough to get me down to around 250 at least. Is the lowering of the metabolism due to the Paxil at fault for my weight difficulties? Or is it the fact that I am now 26 and getting older? Also, I would love to get off Paxil, but whenever I consider it, it seems I have a minor panic attack within a week or so of considering and I don't do it. Any insights?

Thanks
