Depression Support Group

I was on it for about 4-5 years for social anxiety.

Yes it worked for me for that time frame, I stopped taking it when it didn't seem to be helping as much anymore plus I couldn't afford the cost...

For the first 2 weeks I felt like hell, stomach upset and couldn't eat...laid around because I felt like such shit lol

I didn't notice any side effects after that, it could have had something to do with my weight gain back then, not sure because I used to go up and down with weight so much.

That's about it...it helped tremendously with my social anxiety though.

Good luck :)

I was on it for about 2 weeks. It was made of EVIL. I was so ill from it.

But that's just my reaction to it.

I heard success stories about it.

But for me it just made me feel ill and stopped me from sleeping for longer than ten mins at a time.

I've been on four other anti-ds and they haven't had that effect in such strength!!

Well I know everyone is different etc but I gotta say that this drug was positively evil in my experience. I hallucinated, I felt like a zombie, I felt like killing myself and my self harming went out of control ( has never been as bad before and certainly not since I was on this).
I took it for 9 months and becasue it was early days, didn't understand that it was the drug making me worse, not jus depression n anxiety.
I have never taken anything like this since. Other anti d's have been much, much kinder.
I really would advise against this drug. It is highly controversial andthere have been many criticisms of it. I think it is potentially lethal.
Hope this helps.

Ok now a new question. What happens when you drink heavily with paxil? there's a warning label so I was just wondering if it's bad or not....

Oh well, i'll just find out...surely they wouldn't give something that powerful to a person...

Honestly you really shouldn't be drinking on any type of medication....I would strongly advise against it....

They prescribe what a person needs for whatever condition they have.

In the literature that comes with your medication it plainly says do not mix with alcohol.

Therefore.. YOU DON'T MIX IT WITH ALCOHOL.
I'm pretty sure you know this already.

You can look on the internet for any information about paxil. It effects people differently so you really cant go by how it effects one person and so forth... plus you can also talk to your pharmacist with any questions you may have

I took paxsil it worked great but my ankles swelled up like baloons had to be taken off of it...
