Paxil causing stall ?!?!?
I am trying to 'un-stall' myself. The bottom line is I think my Paxil is causing the Atkins WOE not to work. I did not have the same problem when on Zoloft.
Here is the low-down
Started Atkins approx. 5-6 years ago, went from 213 to 179. At a point during that time, I began Zoloft (and it worked well for me), no related weight gain that I saw, and Zoloft treated my anxiety/depression.
Came off Zoloft after a while. Around the same began adding carbs, and stabilized at about 183-185, which lasted several years. Not a goal weight, but I was happy.
Decided that I needed to go back to Zoloft, but my new HMO would only give me Prozac or Paxil. Wound up going with Paxil. Also managed to abandon Atkins for a few months and climbed back to 195.
Now, I have been trying very unsuccessfully to get back into Atkins induction. Very careful about hidden carbs, used some of the Atklns supplements, the whole deal. I can not get it going in any appreciable manner.
HELP! Any suggestions, short of giving up the Paxil, which I am not comfortable doing.
