Experiences with

Paxil

hi there, any Paxil success stories? I am suffering with GAD and OCD. I’ve had panic attacks before. Just having a hard time finding a medication that works for me

hi, are there some Paxil success stories out there? Did it make you worst at first? currently suffering from Gad and ocd. Thanks!

I think I’m going to be switching from Remeron to paxil. Has anyone had good luck with Paxil? And tapering off Remeron?

Then i decided to switch back to an SSRI paxil. Today is my 11th day of taking paxil while reducing desvenlafaxine. Anxiety still there. My anxiety episodes are very long lasting hours and for several days. Please help any ideas in managing Anxiety until paxil takes full effect.

hi, I’ve been on Paxil 5 mgs for 7 days now. I’m feeling weak. Tired. Anxious. Can’t sleep and body achy sick. Do these type of symptoms go away? Or is this a sign this med is not right for me Thanks

Thinking of trying Paxil. Suffering terrible GAD. It’s debilitating . I also feel like it’s made me gain weight even thought I eat healthy and exercise.

Has anyone had any success with Paxil for treating anxiety? It's the latest my doctor has had me try. Only been on it for a few days, but when I Googled this I found such mixed responses as to how long it takes to work.

I completed 6 rounds of carbo/paxil in April 2023 and have been NED since then. I take 100 mg of Niraparib daily - as 300/200 mg were not tolerable dosages for me.

I am weaning off Paxil and having a horrific time.. I get these terrible feeling of fear, anxiety,, dread etc almost everyday around the same time.. DOes this happen to anyone else?? best, mindu

For a while I did lead a normal life while taking paxil then it quit and I am daily battly anxiety at some point. What I would like to know is: does anyone wake each morning with horrible nausea (no vomiting) and a feeling of pressure in their stomach. It is horrible.

Was on Paxil for 20 years prior to that. Was emotionally numbed on it. The doctor is doing a cross taper slowly on moving away from Prozac to a new ssri. Even just with a tiny dose adjustment my GAD flares up and it’s hell. I’ll be good for the first week and then just fall apart on week 2.

Paroxetine stopped working for me over 12 months ago so doctor suggested i tried another ssri ive tried two different brands one worked better than the other but none of them provided relief like paroxetine has done. Anyone any experience of going back on paroxetine after a break and it working again

As far as meds, once I conceded that I needed them, Paxil worked for a while, but had a side effect profile. Lexapro, although promising at first, doesn't seem to help much now. So I'm considering entering more focused therapy.

Was on Cymbalta stopped working..doc switched me to paxil...but side effects horrible. I take Xanax sometimes and find it works so much better.. what do u think?

I have been stable for most of my life on Paxil but over the last year the anxiety seemed better so I tapered down to 10mg. I started having some depression symptoms over the last few months so I thought it might be a good time to switch to Lexapro (been wanting to get off Paxil for years).

I have been on Paxil for over 25 years. Now I am having terrible fear, doom, dread that comes over me. I have experienced this every so often over the years but now It comes every day. My head gets this feeling as if it is stuffed with cotton.. I cannot stand this..

MO has prescribed Paxil, Effexor and something else that didn't work, I tried magnesium and bee pollen all to no avail. I finally tried acupuncture - he had mentioned this the first time I complained and have just now tried it.

My Paxil was increased to 80mg and I was able to go back to work. In December I was also diagnosed with ADHD and put on Vyvanse. Since I have been on the max dose of Vyvanse, I have noticed consistent feelings of anxiety, worthlessness, and irritability throughout the day.

Meanwhile, right before this I went off Paxil that I had been on 25+ years. My anxiety started to creep up, understandably. Im am trying Prozac. One week ago 10 mg and I’m on my second week of 20 mg. I am having severe anxiety and fear now.

I’ve been on 10 mg Paxil for a little over 20 days and I’m having really bad side effects of worsened panic attacks, insomnia, and now intrusive thoughts.
