    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.

    Reviewed paroxetineon 6/24/2019Paxil has definitely stabilized my mood and prevented panic attacks. I have been taking it since the mid 90’s. Got off of it once and started having problems again, so I returned to taking it again and realized the benefits of taking it was worth it.

    Reviewed paroxetineon 5/21/2019I was numb emotionally on Prozac, tried Paxil and it’s now been over 20 years. I do not feel like i take anything, it just allows me to be my best self. My family can tell when I’ve stopped taking it, and I get very dizzy when I stop, so I try not to run out. I’ve taken 20 mg and it has changed my life. The anxiety and negative thoughts in my head go away with Paxil.

    Reviewed Paxilon 5/20/2019DO NOT take this. ive been on it for so long and i cant get off of it what so ever because of how bad the withdrawals are. my doctor wont listen to me and she keeps putting me on different things so i wont have the withdrawals but they are still there. after i stop taking it they kick in about 5 days later and its horrible. please do not take this. not to mention the stretch marks i have ALL OVER because of how much weight ive gained on this. atlesstt 50 pounds
