      Things are pretty silent here since my husband left me. I've had time to listen more, to a lot of things I never heard before.

      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I am experiencing depression right now. I have been depressed for about 2 months now and it is something unlike anything I have ever known before. I am on Paxil, and actually it has started to affect my work. I have only been taking Paxil for baout 2 weeks and I don't really feel any better. The city I in I have not met with any mental doctor because they are so far behind. But I am looking for nayone who is taking Paxil, and if they can let me know how it works. When will I feel any better?

      I have been married for 4 years, and me and my husband are separated right now, and it has caused me to become depressed. I know that he was unfaithful to me, but it hard to let him go. I believe he is the cause of my mentl breakdown. I may not be able to forgive him for this.

    • Open Anxiety

      Until recently I really didn't know what anxiety or panic attacks meant. However since my husband and I split, and other issues, I have been depressed for a few months. I get so upset that I can not breathe, and my heart beats so fast, I feel like I can hear it. I just started with Paxil, and really I don't notice the difference. I hope I begin to feel better...

      Treatments

      Paxil Working / Worked
      Paxil doesn't do much for me, I have only been taking it since 5/30, so I don't know the bad side effects, but I am looking for more info
