User Reviews for Paroxetine

I was prescribed this medication as I struggled with perimenopause. I never thought I would take an antidepressant as I've been a happy camper my whole life. Menopause hit and changed my brain; I was stressed out, looping thinking, couldn't sleep and not myself. I am now back to ME. I resisted medication for a long time, but paroxetine helped immensely. I've gained a little weight, but it's worth it to have my old self back.

I take 20 mg of Paroxetine which is the generic for Paxil. I've been on it a little over 6 months. Works great for me. However I use it only for Anxiety and I think of it as a 'certain limit' of anxiety and my anxiety has been so bad the past month that it breached this wall or limit. so I may need something additional to this. * Note I'm a university student and I work part time too*

This medicine works great for me...however, is it unethical if your doctor's office refuses to refill it simply because you owe a small bill? I am now currently suffering from symptoms related to having to stop this drug, and it is interfering drastically with my life! Any advice?

This worked pretty good for me but after reading withdrawl problems I decided to bring myself of it. I was on 40mg daily went to 20 for a few days and then just quit. Been off a week. Other than pretty good headache and dizziness not real bad. I would only recommend this for a short term treament as withdrawls look terrible so buyer beware!!

was prescribed in the 12.5 strength to help with hot flashes due to change of life

Is anyone having skin issues with taking this medication?

Those this medication help pain?

At first, the medication was effective. People noticed a change in me and I noticed a change in myself. After a while, I feel like my body got used to the medication and I don't really feel like it did anything. The one side effect that I noticed was increased sweating. It got to the point where I couldn't even go outside without dripping sweat like someone had poured water on my head. I couldn't go to restaurants without sweating like crazy and having to fan myself the entire meal. I am getting off of it slowly by gradually decreasing the dosage. I have not had any of the side effects of getting off of the drug that I have read on some of the other reviews. I am on a large dose (40 mg) so I came up with a schedule to slowly decrease the dose over the next month. I have already noticed that I do not sweat nearly as much now as when I took the entire dose as prescribed. Because of the sweating, I will not be taking this medication again.Read More Read Less

This med cut down the number of panic attacks I was having. Significantly.

I don't feel any better I feel worse with this medication, the doctor says I need to use it the rest of my life...Duh? I need another antidepressant not Paxil on 10 MG.

Although this medication has been effective for my anxiety, it seems to have lost its benefit in treating my depression, either that or the depression is worse.

TOO EARLY IN TREATMENT TO SAY

Medication has effectively controlled intense panic attacks that always appeared without warning. Went from starter dose of 10mg to 20 mg. No longer have to rely on Alprazolam.
