    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 paroxetineon 5/4/2019I was sleeping fifteen hours a day and felt lethargic for the other nine hours. It did help me relax and took some of the tension out of my head muscles. I was overall less depressed.

    Reviewed Paxilon 5/2/2019Great for anxiety however getting off is a nightmare. Also first few weeks of being on it caused gas and bloating even with clean eating.

    Reviewed Paxil CRon 4/27/2019The first two weeks are unpleasant ,but as long as you know it is common but will improve it is great. I was never a supporter of anti depressants until I was seriously in need, and it changed my life by helping me just to cope.

    Reviewed Paxilon 4/24/2019It starts to work slowly. Weight gain and decreased sexual interest are hallmarks of this medication, which can be difficult to deal with. Overall numbness can be achieved if desired, but disconnect and fuzziness are also effects of this drug. Your mileage may vary.

    Reviewed Paxilon 4/19/2019I have PMTD, and wanted relief from the enormous amount of breast pain, and mood swings i would have. I got all the common side effects at first but after a month or so they all went away except for the lack of sexual desire and unable to have a orgasm. If you dont care about that part then i would say it is well worth it as long as you can give it time to kick in.

    Reviewed paroxetineon 4/5/2019I was so scared to try this because of the weight gain that everyone was talking about. As long as you excersise and eat well you shouldn’t have a problem. I am more “calm” now so I do need to remind myself to get moving more. But I feel so so good physically and mentally now.
