I was prescribed Paroxetine in August 2007 for depression and have been very satisfied with the results. Granted, Paroxetine does not make my issues disappear, rather, stabilizes my mood swings to help me cope with my problems. I feel a lot better and happier with myself, eat better, sleep soundly and am trying new activities that were once just to hard to deal with.

I have taken this med for sometime now and was satisfied until my "crying days" became more often. My doctor raised my dose from 20mg to 40mg and WOW what a mistake that was. To make a long story short several days after taking the 40 mg I tried to commit sucide. In my opinion either the 40mg is being produced by a different company than the 20mg or there is something terribly wrong with with the medicine..I am 70 years old and will not continue with the 40mg. In my opinion this med will start killing people.Read More Read Less

I took this medication to stop panic attacks. It worked very well but it was very hard to come off of! I recommend people take a good look at the side effects before taking this drug!

I am on anti-epileptic meds too that complicate the situation and have tried numerous other anti-depressive meds and non really are effective due to adverse affects to seizure control.

My husband was put on this medication for PTSD and some depression. He had terrible side effects. He began hallucinating,passing out, and was very angry. It got so bad he was hospitalized. Now, he is taking Risperidone. I am watching closely for side effects. So far, he's very drowsy and still irritable.

This drug has virtually elimated my severe and presistent anxiety. Although it does cause a loss in male sexual prowness, it is something I can live with. I do look forward to a time when I can get off the drug, for now, it is a godsend.
