Weight loss after stopping paroxetine

2017-09-30 20:37:19
I used to take Paxidep CR 37.5 mg tab for my panic and anxiety disorder for around 6 yrs and weighed 84 kg. Doctor changed the medicine to D-Veniz 50, which I took for about 7 to 8 months. During this period I lost weight from 84 kg to 74 kg. Yes during this 7/8 months I was on dieting for onset of diabates. In my last sugar test, just one week ago it shows I have no diabates now. My question is - could medicine change be the reason of my weight loss from 84 to 74 kg in 8 months time?
