I've suffered with depression on and off for most of my adulthood.
Tried various antidepressant over the years with varying success.
Tried to keep of them as much as I can until last year a fucking horrible year where my beloved cat died amongst other shit so went back on them.
Was perscribed paroxetine 20mg which has really helped except for weight gain which I'm struggling with.
I'm eating healthy and going to the gym but the pounds are piling on and I know this is a common side effect of paroxetine.
Tried to come of but I just get so moody without it.
Has anyone got any experience of antidepressant that don't make you gain so much weight or anyone else on paroxetine experienced this and how did you deal with it?

I haven't tried it (yet) but I have heard that cbd oil is both effective in treating depression and an appetite suppressant. I can't vouch for either though.
