User Reviews for Paroxetine

Have constipation,nause,and dizziness since taking drug..

I have been on the generic- paroxetine for almost 5years. it helped a little. made things a little more manageable. i still didnt feel like myself though. i have fealt like i am in a fog. am switching to celexa to see how that works. been on it for a week and dont think it has had enough time to get in my system. I know someone who is having a good experience with it. i read these experiences that people have alot and it bugs me when people complain about yawning or dry mouth and quit taking it. if those symptoms stop you from taking it, you probably didnt need it in the first place.

I have not noticed any increase in length of intercourse from using this drug. I am going on my third month of using it. My mood is better though.

When I first started this med I felt so bad.I kept taking it and within a month I felt normal again.My anxiety has went away and I can do everday things again.The only side affect that bothers me is the loss of sex drive and not be able to have an orgasm!You have to decide what more important and my life is good now!

helped me feel normal again

I've been on Paxil since 1994, started on 20mg. and three years later went up to 40mg. daily. I had little or no side effects and it controls my depression very well.

Well, I have had anxiety now for about 3 years off/on, some times more than other times. I use to freak out a lot more, and get panic attacks for no reason! Now, I am a lot better and having been taking Xanex (which i love, i call them my happy pills, ha ha). But, my doctor wanted me to go in and talk with him about it, and let him know what was up! He wanted me to try this medicine, and I knew it wouldnt work but I tried it because he wanted me to..Today I tried it, and it was the worst day of my life! I felt nauseasus, headache, anxiety, loss of appetite, horrible feeling all day. I couldnt even go to work, I do not recommend this medication for anyone! And if you do take it, take with caution because I hated it!! Im calling the doctor first thing in the morning..Read More Read Less

I am currently taking Paxil for prevention of migraine headaches. I had more success with Zoloft, but it is much more expensive. I frequently experience night sweats, which I have only started recently. I am putting the blame on these two medications. I have never had night sweats before starting the medications.

Taking Paxil for eight years to combat anxiety. Works well. Was also taking Zyprexa but have weaned myself off because of weight gain and high cholesterol.

I have been taking 40mg of this/Paxil for 17yrs now...it helps with the disorder but I do lack sex drive and if I miss 3 days I become dizzy. Overall I sleep better now and though I may still be a little obsessive Im 100 times better than I was.

i was on paxil cr and klonopin together and di very well for years. i eventually got off paxil but stayed on klonopin. here it is 5 years later and i am back on 10mg of paxil(generic) of 3 days and 1.5mg of klonopin. i felt pretty good but somewhat foggy , with headache and tiredness first 2 days back on paxil. but today i had some troubles. is this common??? i came off zoloft 25mg and strait onto 10mg of paxil 2 days ago. now today i had some sweaty palms, alot of yawning, some staring or like a out in left field feeling?? just wanted to know did the paxil finally get in my system in place of the zoloft after 3 days or whats up???? also whats the difference between paxil cr and generic paxil. my dr. gave me paxil cr but insurance would not cover it. so i was wondering what the difference is if anybody knows. i hope somebody can give me some advice, since this is my 2nd time taking paxil, i really dont remember that far back what effects it had on me early into starting it. thanks djRead More Read Less

Sometimes it helps, but with the stress of taking care of a handicapped young adult and a very critical spouse the effectiveness isn't always good.

This has helped my anxiety, however I have less sex drive and find it extremely diddicult to reach orgasm/ejactulation. I hope I get my libido when I come off this drug

I took 20mg paroxetine for about 2 months for anxiety, anger/frustration, and depression. It took a while to get used to but after a couple weeks it started helping a lot. Now that I stopped I am experiencing withdrawals. They started on the third day and are still going on the fifth day. I am dizzy and not sleeping well. I have also had nightmares.

Before i started Paroxetine i was having really bad anxiety attacks, it got that bad that i didn't want to leave my house. I went to my doctor and she suggested paroxetine. The side effects were not that great but after 1 week i started to feel much better.

i find i have no energy

Started taking a month ago when my doctor put me on them for my rapid heart beat, she thinks it anxiety related, I disagree. I do not like these pills, it has become harder to urinate, I am extremely constipated and completely dehydrated. Helps a little if I only take half a pill, however I am constantly crying and irritable and have been gaining weight. They make me incredibly sleepy, so I take it right before bed. I also become dizzy fairly often. If anything, these pills are causing my anxiety. Read More Read Less

I have OCD. After about a month of taking the medication (and of course continued therapy including the meds), my symptoms have decreased significantly. They haven't gone away (I'm not sure they ever do), but life is definitely easier. It also helps that this specific medication is relatively inexpensive.

this medication ended up making me suicidal, and i came off of ti back in october 2008. an ihave never felt better since i came off it, no horrible thoughts or feelings whizzing about in my head, i went to my gp, and told him how i felt, went into A&E DEPT overnight , and i never took a/depressant that night, woke up next morning with a clear head, see things straight for 1st time ever, cool, calm, collect, chilled, happy, relaxed, all by one tablet, and it was only 20mg, at night, never felt better since icame off, do not wish to take anymore of those damn things ever again. been back and told gp how i feel, he, said i do not need any a/depressants, if i feel that way. and that was on the 21st october08. never again , thank you. i was on it for about 5-6 years.

This medication has taken the edge off of my hormonal short temperedness, irritability, etc.
