User Reviews for Paroxetine

i have been using paroxetine Hcl oral and my daughter likes to steal my pain medication can these be in anyway harmful to her?

Too: CONCERNED, 45-54 Female on Treatment for 5 to less than 10 years (Patient). This stuff works great for me but I've only been on it a little over a year. I forgot my meds at my brothers place 1 time, he lives 200 miles away and within 2 days I was afraid to drive. I was shakey, light headed, felt like I was getting shocked. I finally called my doctor and said I need just 4 Paroxetine to get me thru the week until I get back to my brothers. He did and I have never forgot them again. I have read many, many accounts that getting off Paxil / Paroxetine is very hard and an extremely slow process.Read More Read Less

Been using it for years; so far it has been effective. Want to check side effects, tho.

Paroxetine YEAH! Saved my life :) can't even imagine coming off it! I tried once and it everything went back being awful. It's a proper life saver for me, thanks to this I can have a normal life. It helped with depression, anxiety, OCD. I'm never coming off it! :)

I feel the medication is doing its job. I think its time to come off it. I am extremely concerned with long term affects of withdrawal and physical damage. I take other meds: fluvoxamine, geodon, 4 mg. of klonopin. I have (or had) depression, bipolar, manic, anxiety and heart palpitions. I've been off Tegretal XR (bipo) for two weeks and doing well. From the medication (maybe Paroxetine oral 30 mg.) I might be getting light headed. tingling, and "zaps to my head. Anyone having trouble getting off of Paroxetine? what are you experiencing? Thanks for the input.Read More Read Less

tokk for 18 years for my fibromyalgia pain and depression

very helpful Little or no side effects

I was prescribed for anxiety and find Neurotin to be VERY EFFECTIVE FOR FIBROMYALGIA PAIN as well. Neurotin is the most effective mood stabilizer I have ever taken

I'm 24, started college 6 months ago. been taking adderall to focus at work for 10 months. Adderall triggered my slight anxiety, but helping significantly with my focus, so did not want to get off of it. I would have crazy mood swings,1 week before my period, very depressed. I have always been worried, worry about everything, I can never sleep becuase I am always worried. Adderall also ignited a social anxiety, which was never an issue before. This medication 20MG, after 1 month I feel amazaing. No PMS, I sleep, I can leave problems at work, at home, whereever. Adderall helps me focus, and Peroxitine helps me stay happy, and no anxiety. If I miss a dose, I feel like a complete slug. Read More Read Less

helps with worry an obsession OCD

It has done nothing to relieve the viral ear infection that I have been experiencing.

I can't really tell the difference, but those around me say I have a better attitude.

Been on Paxil since 2002. For my anxiety, it's been awesome. I stopped being afraid of stupid things like dogs and matches (which isn't what I was prescribed it for though). I started being able to go back to school (I became scared of leaving my house before I went on this). So for my anxiety, it's been great. This has done very little for my depression though. Never has, no matter what dosage I was on (started at 20, went to 30, now at 40mg). It's also starting to seem not to work very well anymore. After 9 years, it may be time to try something new. No side effects except when I forget a dose (dizziness, weird shock feelings in my head).Read More Read Less

when missing a dose ,,then u get all light headed and dizzy,,i get confused,sad i hate the feelings

Great relief of depression plus an extra boost of confidence, I'm really shy and it, for some reason, helped that. I gained alot of weight and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get it off. I was switched to Pristiq, (I took took Effor in the past), and have relief from depression and lost weight, but it's not worth the headache, fatigue and stiff neck I'm having now. I plan to go back to old faithful (paroxetine) it works, it's affordable...So I may be gubby, but happier, what would you choose.Read More Read Less

I take this medicine for PMS and it has worked extremely well. I feel much better. I take it at night because it makes me sleepy. I feel like my old self.
