User Reviews for Paroxetine

ive been taking this medication for 2yrs. it helps alot. i started at 50 but now down to 40. i would actualy like to stop taking it but it does have side affects when you stop. so this is just a warning. never just stp taking it always get your doctor to help. you will get dizzy, hot flashes, not even able to really walk. just always have your doctor help you cut down.

IT HAS WORKED GREAT FOR ME FOR PANIC ATTACHES

I only started taking it yesterday.

first time I took the medication I took 20mg, I could not even get out of bed, I felt so weak and the doctor told me to take half well it was better,but now I'm having trouble breathing so overall this did'nt work for me.

I have been taking this medicine for nearly ten yrs. It has helped me to stop having panic attacks, if I do have one it is really mild and goes away fast and I can continue on with my daily activity. I can sleep better and I have put on about 20 lbs but that doesn't matter to me just as long as I don't have a panic attack.

Paxil 20 mg. Always works great. It organizes my mind. Takes away obsessive thoughts, clears the webs of negative thought. I have taken it 3x for a year each time. Each time I gained 20 pounds. One time I exercised daily for 60 min and didn't lose weight. Takes away libido completly. I take this in an emergency (very stressed, panicky, paranoid,insomnia and depressed). I'm familiar w/ zaps.....careful when getting on and off...you need a week to chill out w/ the withdrawel. I'm not afraid of the crazy withdrawel symptoms so I usually get off quickly and ride the craziness....not for the faint of heart.Read More Read Less

I have been on this drug for about a week and I'm unfortunately reacting badly to it. I'm feeling more depressed than I was before I started it at times. Though I do have times where I feel great. That means I'm in that small percentage of the people who take it that have a bad reaction to it. That doesn't mean that you will though so don't be scared to take it. This was just my experience with it.

Helped with the anxiety, but hard to get off of. I was only on 30 mg, reduced to 20, now I am getting light headed and feeling "brain zaps".

I have been taking (Paroxetine) for nearly 2 years. First had issues adjusting to the medication. Found it helped me deal with everyday issues. Just recently dicussed with my dr. wanted to discontinue taking. I will note I have experienced side effects trying to stop taking it. Not bad effects headaches, fuzzy head and trouble sleeping

Dont take this, ,Ive been on it for about a month, I have trouble urinating, loss of sex interest, Ive decreased in sexual performance, and cant sleep worth a crap

I'm taking this drug for depression (8 Weeks) but I don't feel a comfort level, I still fight my depression and I would not recommend it.

Although everyone's tolerance is different, after being on this medication for a month, I didn't feel any difference in the way I felt. A month is a long time when you're trying to do the right thing to feel better.

I started taking this medication for depression and anxiety. I took it for three days before i stoped taking it. In those three days i was so nauscious and dizzy that i couldn't walk around, and i had hot flashes and tingling all over my body. This medication may work for other people, because everyone reacts to things differently, but i had a horrible experience with it and would not recomend it.

This med has helped decrease the number of anxiety attacks, however through all of the SSRIS I have tried, they have all caused urinary problems, such as bladder pain and frequency, Has this happened to anyone else? Im thinking of trying Wellbutrin, any suggestions?

I took it for 3 days and was in a constant state of anxiety, more fear than before I tried it, and I couldn't eat. We are all different, and as for me I could not stand how it made me feel, and I didn't want to continue on it just to "get over the hump".

i think i need a higher dose

I take the medicine for extreme anxiety. It has helped with mood problems, keeping attention in class, and sleeping. However, my main problem is trouble breathing. The medicine did calm it down but I still have attacks especially as I settle down to go to sleep at night.
