Pocahantas~
I'm curious- approximately how long were you taking Benzos? The reason I ask is that although most people DO lose weight on anti-anxiety and/or anti-depression meds, the weight loss is almost always in the 1st month or 2 or 3, and then...POW- rapid weight gain once long-term use is established. I know for myself, I gained over 30 lbs when I was prescribed Paxil- I too, lost weight at first, and then gained it all about 5 or 6 mths into taking it. Same as Night Shade, I remember waking up in the middle of the night with sugar cravings- one night I ate an entire cake all by myself!!!! GROSS!!
The nickname for Paxil is "Pack-it-on". I wonder if those who are taking pain meds are also taking Benzos as well.

Just wondering,

Julz
