Hello Frenchy1292

Thank you for your message. It sounds as if you are having some positive effects but that you are also still struggling with a lot of things.

You need to discuss this with your doctor.

As you say, it can take a few weeks to get the full benefit from Paxil. It may take a while longer, but the doctor will advise and help with this.

Members do you have any experiences of taking Paxil that you can share here?

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on.

Best wishes

Hi

By five weeks in you should be starting to feel some benefit, maybe dose needs to be higher? I have previously had diazepam low dose to take while increasing dose to help with those feelings.
