    Reviewed paroxetineon 1/7/2020For a depressed person I would say it’s at least 60% effective overall per day which is actually really big especially compared to going through suicidal ideation. No I’m still lazy I still don’t have great self-esteem but I don’t feel the exact same depth of helplessness that I was battling.problem the last 3 meds I’ve tried including this one have all giving me terrible diarrhea and I continue to deal with chronic diarrhea which really concerns me.

    Reviewed paroxetineon 12/12/2019It is terrifying to come off of if you need to. The anxiety I felt and the “brain zaps” were constant. It felt like I was being electrocuted every few minutes, if not more often. I couldn’t sleep, I cried constantly. It worked while I was taking it, better than anything else I’ve taken. But coming off of it is something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.

    Reviewed Paxilon 9/27/2019I had to go down from 50mg to 30mg because of the consistent thoughts of suicide. Although I am not sure of the combination with Divalproax, the constipation and gas forced me to use Dulcolax every day

    Reviewed Paxilon 9/11/2019The medicine has worked really well for the years I've been taking them, and the side effects haven't really affected me, but withdrawal was just devastating.

    Reviewed paroxetineon 8/20/2019Paxil worked better and longer than any other antidepressant I have tried. I have tried many for my occasional depression and anxiety. I have taken it for about 10 years and it just slowly stopped working as well- I always find this to be true of antidepressants. I am gaining weight and not feeling as calm. I would recommend this to others for depression and anxiety.
