Can you still cut up while taking Paxil?

Slyder190 · Nov 16, 2015

I am 40mg a day and have began a cutting diet (Do not need help in that dept). Will Paxil present a problem? Thanks.

Shouldn't have any problems as long as you following proper cutting protocols: diet, cardio, fat loss accessory agents, HRT or gear.

So you have personally? Yes, gear and T.3

Yes. The Paxil makes me an absolute rockstar in the bedroom. If people have an issue getting cut while taking a SSRI it's because diet, cardio, and/or training are off.

yep since 1995. i tried to get off and couldn't. So after going to many specialists it was determined that my chemical imbalance can't be fixed and i have to stay on paxil. its only 20mg.

Same here. I have been on Effexor for 20 years. I also have a chemical imbalance. I tried weaning off, but it was a no go. I will be on it for life.

I competed in 8 shows previously not on an SSRI. Never had an issue dieting, my fat loss was proportionate to my training and diet.

Last prep, I was on luvox, an SSRI and I just couldn't do it. Mentally I was there. I ate my foods, I did my training and cardio, etc. but fat just wouldn't budge. It was a horrible experience for me.

I agree,,,typically its diet related and/or not training correctly.

Honestly bro.. give it a go and see what happens.

For me, I did nothing different from previous preps, other than more work. I increased my cardio, added an extra training day, etc. and fat would just stick to me like glue.

Slyder190 · Nov 20, 2015

I will have to wait it out and see what happens I guess.

I did some research a few years ago on SSRI's and weight gain.It appeared that the common conclusion amongst most of the studies was that increase in serotonin levels increased cravings for carbohydrates. Now these people were Probably not training hard with good nutritional habits. If they craved something chances are they ate it!

This is very similar to artificial sweetener studies. Increases cravings ,therefore weight gain is observed.Again,not self disciplined heavy training athletes. Many use artificial sweeteners in abundance and are shredded!!
