I would also like to post this in the aid of anyone who no longer needs to be on Paxil. I am sure many might stumble upon this as well with that similar question. Honestly if you are on it for a long time or prescribed to be on it for a life time it's going to be hard. I do fully recommend to try to use a combo of benadryl + ASHWAGANDHA. Benadryl helps wonders with brain zaps. (previously I mentioned kratom but a lot of people have addictive personalities and shouldn't use that if that is the case). This from experience has helped the best. I also broke the pill down and went 20 - 10 - 5 - 2.5 with at least a week in between. I am NOT a doctor so be sure to communicate openly with your doctor!
most common question : * see updated at top this is old * Do I still take Paxil ?
Recently have made the switch over to Wellbutrin since I had gained a lot of weight (not everyone is like that + it is possible to lose weight normally still) the weight isn't bad as long as you don't have obsessive eating with it like I did. I have a sedentary lifestyle also that most don't which weight would then go unnoticed. I have blood work coming up for testosterone / thyroid / blood sugar due to stuff running in my family so will update if that contributed to any ill mental feelings as well. Thanks for all the support! PLEASE feel free to answer others or tell your stories in the comments!

Iam about to start Paxil will Ashley I already have started at 10 mg spent a couple days can you tell me how long it took before you felt the effects of the Paxil kicking in thanks bro
@@kent7525 It took me exactly 3 weeks for it to set in completely. You feel a little off the 1st week then it goes away around the 2nd week and you start to feel the anxiety / depression fade if it is working for you!
Waltzin are you still taking Paxil to this day? What did I mean it gets harder? So the longer u stay on it is that a bad thing?
Thank you for this video, I watched it before agreeing to take paxil and it really helped me make the choice. I honestly feel better, I used to wake up everyday feeling crazy fear/doom even though nothing was wrong, and it started working almost right away for me. It's honestly a gift to be able to enjoy living, and all this time I worried medication would make me a zombie. Totally not the case. This video deserves way more likes.
@@717StreetMedia Helo dude, I have severe social anxiety The doctor has told me to take etifoxene and also to take paroxetine so can I combine these two once a day for social anxiety..?
Paxil is certainty one of the best SSRI's. Not for everyone's chemistry, but It really helps quiet down the irrational thoughts of anxiety.
Thanks bro
How much dose u are taking
Why you think that way?
YES!
Just started on 10 mg paxil paroxetine (uk) i suffer with anxious thoughts revolving around my kids dying 😢 thoughts have already decreased thank god
I get so frustrated that people will say "you don't need medication"....they don't understand that for some people, it's on another level. Just because anxiety is common, they think it's not possible for someone to have it far worse than the average person who can just go to yoga and be fine. They don't understand that for some people, medication really does improve quality of life tremendously.
Thank you for this comment 🥲. This is so true.
Thank you so much for posting this. I've struggled with anxiety for a long time and talked to my Dr today after watching your video. I'm off to the pharmacy to pick up my prescription.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm so glad to hear a successful Paxil story.
Thanks my friend. My daughter has been struggling with anxiety/depression and just today I talked her into trying some of my Paxil. It was a lifesaver for me & I feel the same as you about it. Hope my daughter finds some peace. Take care!
Madam. It really works?? I have started the dose last week
Thanks for the video. It’s comforting to know that there are others fighting the same battle, and can describe their experience exactly the way I would.
Best wishes with your journey
What about your sexual life? Thanks!
Thank you for making this video. My story sounds very similar to yours, and hearing you speak of Paxil (which is what I take) was reassuring. I do very well on it, and I've also stopped taking it several times trying to find more 'natural' ways of dealing with my anxiety and depression, to no avail. Finding your video made me realize I need to be less tough on myself and just do what it takes to deal with my crazy brain. It has saved me as well. Thank you.
Thank you for this video. Paxil is eloping me incredibly with ptsd and anxiety...it's saving my life. Thank you!
Glad it is helping!
Thank you! I was just prescribed Paxil for extreme anxiety and found your video. It helps to hear a good review like this 🙏
This is such a real thing like not a lot of people talk about this and it's so very important , hope you are doing well and thank you for sharing your story
Paxil is awesome! I went from suicidal to having a girlfriend and a life.
Been on for ten years.
Went off once, and lots of people noticed my withdrawal.
It silenced the self doubting voice that replays conversations. My own voice that constantly told me how stupid I was.
It did make me a little light headed, sleepier(lots of naps). But it has been a positive life changer.
Used to have to make sure none of the neighbors were outside before going out to get the mail..
Awesome bro glad to hear you are doing better. God bless!
Hello bro, can we talk somewhere, I will take paroxetine soon and have some question. Thank You for sharing with other people your bright perspective 🙏
Brilliant mate thank you for sharing .
I’ve been trying to come off these for over 27 years and always realise I need them and end up going back to them .
The longest has been 4 months .
I’m ok for a few weeks then it gets worse . It’s definitely not a placebo for me .
The confusion and brain fog is immense almost like I was losing my mind .
Like you said on here , I too have struggled to find a natural replacement that softens the over thinking .
Thanks for sharing Buddy ❤️
Please be aware that could be discontinuation and purely the fact you are removing the drug.. I have been on paxil for 20 years and it took me 3 years to get down to 7mg..these drugs are highly dangerous pleade be careful.. read any work by David healy..
Thank you so much for making this video. I start Paxil for the first time tomorrow. I'm nervous, as I've been dealing with this stuff for 10 years roughly and finally decided to make the call for help. This is my second medication, but the first "serious" one from what I've read. I'm feeling calmer for the way you went about it and I thank you for explaining it.
Thanks for the video, you really helped a lot people through doing this video. Thanks for being true!
I've had depression and anxiety for years. I finally gave in, and went to seek out help. I just started on antidepressants, I wish I would have go on them years ago. Thank you for sharing your story. 💕
@Light4you I’m on all antidepressants. Now I’m a robot.
what is your state eight now
Are you still take it? I am on it just 7 days I feel so scared.
I just started Paxil today and I’ve been hearing nothing but horror stories. Your experience was refreshing. Thank you for this!
i just started seroxat (same family ) today , im nervous as well for the same reason
@rabab elhamam , hey sir can you tell how is going with seroxat bcs i am starting today
@@kristjanogjoka39 a je shqip ?
How did it go?
@@rababelhamam1582 did it help?
i can see that this experience made u more stronger so proud of u ❤
thank you for sharing - starting with this today for my depression since my previous one wasn't working for me
I loved your video. Very "straight from the heart!" I laughed when you tried to lower your dosage from the ten you normally take because I take 20 and brought it down to 10 and within a couple of days I was crying like a baby for no reason and knew I had to "up" my medication to the regular dose......Blessings from Canada .. Thank you!
Very very happy for you. It seems like the positive opinions and videos about antidepressants are never highlighted. Im not on Paxil but was prescribed something else and pushed starting it to the back burner because the anxiety, of course, would eat up my mind. I finally just took it and tbh I think it's a miracle........thanking God for the people who create these meds.
how long till u saw a change
Thank you for your encouragement.
I've suffered with severe anxiety for the last 3 weeks, triggered by a haircut!
I've finally decided to try medication again to give my body and mind and rest and to be more present with my beautiful daughters.
With Paxil I went from a shy introverted pessimistic guy to “emo peter parker” (aka Bully Maguire) from spider-man 3, dancing in the streets without a care in the world...
How much u take?
@@anasshamid8694 - I think 40mg, I forgot it was about 8 years ago. I’m trying to get back on it!
@Lerone murpy - I went on a 2 month vacation so my “case” with my the therapist closed.
@Lerone murpy - I initially got withdrawal symptoms so I went to the hospital hoping to get more Paxil so I could begin the process of leaving it. For some reason after taking the paxil tablets from the hospital I no longer had any withdrawal symptoms.
@Lerone murpy - The hospital only gave me a few days worth of tablets. After I ran out I had no withdrawal symptoms.
Thank you for this! Gives me hope. Starting medication again soon. Scared but also excited for the possibility of it making me feel better :)
@@JnJhittl193 hi what happened
I went through the same thing and it helps to hear I'm not alone. Thank you so much
I love you . Thank you for this video.everyone judges me for masking this decision as a single mom but I know it helps me.keep on keeping on dude
Thank you so much for making this video and sharing your experience. I was just recently prescribed paxil from my doctor and I haven't taken it yet because I am really scared of the side effects and all the bad stories I heard that happened to some people, but now after watching your video, I feel a little better about it and relieved to hear that it does work. I might go ahead and start it today. Thanks again for posting this video.
Sharon Vitale I just got mine today as well, it’ll be fine I’ve taken it before years ago and it worked really well for me, a lot of energy and no anxiety
Thank you for turning to me for help as well really appreciate it!
I get such a nice calm feeling of well being when taking it, i feel right at peace. This medication changed my life.
Touching story. Its so brave of you to tell those things❤️ god bless you
Thanks my dude. I actually took a day off after doing this just bec I kinda brings up all the bad things again. Glad you guys appreciate it though
GUYS THANK YOU SO MUCH I AM SO GLAD THIS RESONATED WITH SO MANY OF YOU! I will be turning off ads as I feel this does more good as a gauge for any1 out there struggling and should be treated as such. YOU got THIS !
My depression is definitely because I'm always anxious. Panic attacks, insomnia, pit in my stomach 24/7, agoraphobia. Everyone says the same thing, 'oh, I have anxiety too". So sick of hearing people say that. Not putting their issues down at all but there're disorders and there's normal healthy anxiety.
Exactly
I get it. Those are usually people who don't know or realize there's levels to anxiety/panic attacks
Damn right.
I don’t know about a normal healthy anxiety. I think is more common to be fucked up than it is to be “normal.” Really wish I knew what that felt like. Finally taking paroxetine and trying to find a good add med but back to your point. I think a lot of people are in denial. They say they have anxiety and cope with it differently.
Facts
Man thanks for the video i just got prescribed this due to huge anxiety (fear of death, disease, weird ass symptomes etc...) and was scared to use it cause it will kill my performances but better live happy and having a higher challenged than scared and unable to get off home ! Thanks bro
Did it help?
It’s fuckin crazy. I feel the whole “oh it’s all in your head” statement. I was put on Zoloft and it did not help. I’m starting with Paxil now and I’m praying to the good old lord that he helps me overcome it with this medication. To everyone with anxiety, keep ya head up. Thanks for your share brother
Keep your head up, too. Wish you all the best :)
hi what happened do you feel better?
Hi , any updates ?
How are you now?
How are you now? Hope you feel better.
Thank you for sharing your story. Ive been on SSRI's for 14 years now , they also saved my life .
Have you changed between ssris over the past 14 years? Or just stayed on the same one
@@Charles-pf7zy I was on prozac from 2006-2014 . then Lexapro from 2014- present. im on 10mg now of lexapro which is the lowest dose of any SSRI i have been on
@@LaurelMcintosh had the Prozac stopped working? I have an issue where every ssri I try stops working after a period of time
@@Charles-pf7zy yep! my doc said that every 7 years prozac stops working bcuz our cells change or something
@@LaurelMcintosh so just because one ssri stops , you can still take another ssri and it will work?
Thank you for this vid. I wish you the best.
Thank you for your honesty. I've been on Paxil for many many years now and it has changed my life. I suffer from social anxiety and now I can engage in conversation with anyone, even a complete stranger. So I'm very thankful to my doctor for prescribing it.
Hey, thanks for sharing. I just started Paxil a week ago and having many side effects. I have social phobia too. May I ask what dosage you take? Do you take anything else in combination? I am having terrible insomnia so not sure if it’s worth keeping up with the meds.
@@omnibaroi7323 did you get any side effects the first day of taking it?
@@Sam-fg9lf hi Sam! Yes the very first day I took it, I had extreme nausea. The thought of food made me wanna vomit. Noises made me wanna vomit and feel dizzy. I think the nausea got better after a week.
Now it has been 3 weeks, and my appetite for food is super low. I am eating 30% of what I used to. Yawing a lot. I make myself go to the gym 3 times a week so I still have great energy.
I do find that it is helping to make a difference in lowering anxiety. I can talk to people without sweating haha and can keep the conversation going and actually enjoy the back and forth now.
I am sticking to this med. It makes mundane things interesting. Like I have more attention and appreciation for the little things in life. I treat people with care and love myself more since the meds.
Insomnia has not gotten better yet. Fingers crossed. Hope you have good results with a SSRI. Apparently people react differently to different brands of SSRI. I got lucky with the first one I tried. No issues in the bedroom as sexual dysfunction can be a side effect. Xoxo
@@omnibaroi7323 I’m happy it’s working well for you with no major side effects. I haven’t been able to sleep either. I’m only at day 2. I felt slightly dizzy when I woke up but that’s about it. No yawning or sleepiness. I hope it works out for me.
@@Sam-fg9lf i hope you see some good results for you mood and energy. First week is the hardest I think. It gets so much better. Be patient and let your body adjust.
I already had insomnia and doc said this would help but it hasn’t yet. Goodluck man.
Happy to see some positive stories on this post. The last video I watched was Al negative and scary. My dr prescribed me Paxil but I haven’t started it. I haven’t taken an ssri before so I’m worried. But it’s nice to know people do have good outcomes. But I heard of the ssri’s, it usually has the most side affects…
did you take em?
Thank you for the info. My doctor just prescribed Paxil, so I'm about to start.
I've been on paxil for 15 years and it gave me my life back and has been a life saver! No more panic attacks no more deep depression no more obsessive thoughts either! I took 20mg for 12 years and been on 30mg for past 3 years and I am so glad it worked for me with very minimal side effects
i find it scary that you have to keep increasing the dosage... I just started it but i am scared. I have strong headaches and i can't sleep well at night....
Good luck when it stops working in three more years.
@@spacecy how are you doing man?
@@tyroniussupapookiemcleroy1403 hello. I'd say i am ok. I stopped taking it 1-2 weeks after i started it. I was afraid it was gonna do more harm than good. Are you taking it?
@@spacecy yep. Prozac gave me my life back 5 years ago
Just got on Paxil for anxiety. Hopefully it works for me. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for making this video.
I'm going to be taking paxil soon due to extreme OCD and general anxiety and mild depression at times (from strong highs and lows) my dad also takes paxil so I was hoping it would work for me. Thank you again for this video
How is it going? I started today
Glad it worked for you! I just got it prescribed today! But my thoughts are telling me that it’s going to make go crazy or make my anxiety worse. It worked for my mom but I’m pretty scared to take it .....
Did it help?
Thank you for this! I'm starting paxil tomorrow and I'm nervous but after decades of nonstop battles it's time to do something!.
Hey bro how has the drug been ?? Pls reply
Please reply just for it today
Hey bro how has the drug been ?? Pls reply
yeah hows it been
I feel just that way starting mine today..... thank you much very very much on point!
How is it?
Thank you for sharing! Just started and feeling good/normal 😊
Hi Krista. How is it going now after 3 months? How much did you start with and what amount did you end up with now per day? How long did it take you to feel something positive from it? Where you having panic attacks before you started, and if so, how are they now? My doctor is starting me on only 5mg for 1 week, then I go to 10mg...but many say they need about 20mg to stop the OCD, racing thoughts, GAD, panic attacks, etc. Thank you. James
100% Agree paxil saved my life too. I have been on it since I was 30 and i am now 40 years old and more than happy to stay on it forever as that feeling of somebody sitting on my chest stopping me breathing was literally hell on earth so yeah I 100% agree that when its needed SSRIs are fantastic meds.
May the good Lord bless you.❤
Congratulations on this videos success!
I'm so happy you made this video, man. I have the same exact issues with anxiety that you used to have. I took effexor for some years with it not helping too much. I was just prescribed paroxetine 10mg today, so I'm really hoping this will get rid of my anxious, racing thoughts.
Hey, how has the Paxil worked out? Still on the up and up?
@@stevensullivan5282 It worked pretty quickly for me. Kicked in after a few days of taking it, and had a good feeling of how it would work after the first week or two. It gives me a lot of energy, helps me not stress over things I normally stress about, and I'm a lot more talkative! I also have stuck with 1mg, because 2mg ended up being way too much for me to handle.
@@RootSuitMan 1 mg or 10 mg ?
@@rachelann8275 i dont remember but it made me feel like shit lmao
@@RootSuitMan oh but the comment above you said it helped? Did it stop
Working or it gave you side effects?
I started Paxil when I was 35. I had 4 children to take care, an ex, and a wife and was working in corrections. Paxil saved my life as well. But after being on it for about 20 years, I had gained a ton of weight. I got off it when I retired, started losing weight, but the twin demons of anxiety and depression came out of hibernation. I will be 59 in two weeks. I am now on Welbutrin and doing better than when I was on Paxil. Love life is pretty good--had very little with Paxil. In about two months I will be undergoing weight loss surgery. Thanks for letting me share.
Doesn’t Wellbutrin make anxiety worse?
@@wulfsorenson8859 Not for me.
Did you feel as if excercise/working out could of minimized weight gain?
@@eddieortiz873 Exercise helped, but my appetite was simply out of control...I would feel stuffed after a big meal, and still want to eat more. Additionally, my doctor explained that once a sizeable amount of weight has been gained, your brain will now think that is your new weight and fight you to keep you eating. It all made sense to me. I had my surgery 9 months ago. It was very simple. It feels like a switch has been turned off in my brain, and I am down 90 pounds. Thanks for reading.
@@eddieortiz873 no
Thank you for posting this. I've been on Paroxetine on and off for 10 years now and feel like I might need to stay on it forever to avoir relapses. I always feel bad whenever I'm about to start taking the med again but I'm realizing we all have different tolerance levels to life's hardships.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this review in getting ready to start paxil.. Having panic attacks and I've been on buspar 3 times a day and have to take Xanax.. Since the buspar is not totally controlling my panic and anxiety she's gonna have me try paxil..I hope to God it works so I can ween off buspar and get relief from anxiety and panic
i have bdd and after years of fluvoximine and other anti depressents had adverse effects on me i failed at everything and got alcoholic. in my life by gods grace i got a great doctor he treated me with paroxatine (paxil) and from day one i started feeling better now i am way better than i was before and its has been 3 months with big difference i hope i recover fully. all the best to all the people who are having a war with things they cant talk about.
Thanks for sharing this!
Looks like you have lost weight since you shared this video, good job!
Stay safe!
Thanks for saying so i appreciate it! Took lots of effort but really helped even more to boost my mental state!
Thank you for this !
Maan..you gave me hope..thank you.
Your symptoms and obsessions sound exactly like mine. I just got started on Paxil a few days ago. I'm hoping it works, I can almost already feel some changes, not sure if it's just the mood or placebo effect. Cant wait to get rid of my OCD
@@sarahk6151 did you have any answer? Thanks!
Bro so relatable im on 10 right now and it has helped tremendously. Awesome video man nice to know we ain't alone out here!
Glad I could help! 🫶🏽
you have pretty well explained your experience with this anti depressant, it was easy to follow and relate to.
I started my medication today and I am already in good hopes to change my life for the better as you have.
in that sense, wish me luck, since you are already there, where I am planning to be too soon. ; )
How are you now?
Did it help?
@@Frobe8 stopped taking it shortly after. Meditation, reading Books, healthy diet and exercise is my preferred alternative.
I've been taking Lexam 10mg and its cleared my head mind you I've lost most friends in the process before medication. Things will work out for you. Just ride the waves of it. I think the more empathetic and sensitive the person one is.. the more prone to mental health problems. I'm a veteran of on and off mental health ailments for most my life but I wouldn't change a thing
paxil really helped me from a really low point. I was crippled by anxiety and this got me back.
I dnt understand I'm taking paxil why is not doing the same for me u are so lucky men 😊.
Vanessa Dumay there are so many different med options. Work with your doctor to see what one works best for you. It’s worth the effort.
@@gregboam8474 thank u I appreciated men take care .
It really works bro?.. I started the dose last week . My doc told me it will take 2. To 3 weeks to show eeftcs.. today its day 13. I din't felt any change yet.. same scary feelings still... Hope it will be showing effects by 3 week
@@ronitroy3923 did paxil help you am in 2 week
Thank you for sharing your story💗
Everything you described has been me. Due to traumatic events almost back-to-back my brain was stuck in fight or flight mode. That’s a scary feeling. Four days ago I started Paxil and. My doctor said I wouldn’t notice a difference. This is the exact opposite. I experienced 3 days of bad physical side effects, however mentally I felt leveled out. Today, huge difference. And what’s even amazing is that my 16 year old niece had no clue I stayed medicine. She said to me, “Nikki, you look really good and happy today. Lookout world, My aunt is back!” ☺️🤗
Thank you so much for sharing your story
And breaking the stigma! I am so happy to hear that you have found the right drug and I hope I do as well 😅
You also mentioned other family members take medication. Very often depression runs in the family and there are certain genes that predispose people to depression & anxiety, that has been scientifically proven
I'm on 20mg of Paxil for about 10 days. My sleep, energy and mood have improved, anxiety and bad thoughts reduced a lot! I'm waiting to complete the 3 weeks window for maximum effects. I think it already saved my life.
Regards from Brazil!
glaubermarcius 6-8 weeks,you’ll be good
3 weeks? It takes 2-3 months with Paxil.. with me it took 10-12 weeks before it really took my OCD away
Agent Octopus it takes near 3 months to really work I’d say
It shows the effect for me from day one only
Just on 12.5 cr
10 days completed
Now 25 cr from today just feeling stomach ache but depression anxiety is no more.
Any sexual side effects? Thanks!
I so agree with you about people passing judgement on other people's medical needs. So what if a certain medicine doesn't work for everyone. It may be ineffective for one person but life-giving to another. And also, just letting people know, herbal supplements are drugs too. Stop feeling superior because your choice of drugs is interpreted as "natural" by your self. Chemistry is chemistry. Thanks to the OP for a great video!
I'm starting it today. Thank you so much
how its going?
I am starting my first dose of Paxil tomorrow as it was just proscribed to me today by my doctor.
my anxiety makes me feel insane, I wake up in the morning feeling like the whole day will go wrong and make me feel so tired and insecure. this feeling lead me to be a little depressed. i am so constantly in my head and hard on myself,
I am hopeful!!! 🤞🤞🤞
WISH ME LUCK❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Abbey , any updates ? How is your experience so far ? 🥺
OMG THIS IS ME!!! got prescribed this today hope it works and your symptoms are the same as me
how did it go !
Omg my anxiety sky rocketed when I started dating a new guy, it was so reassuring to hear you say that you were crazy about your girlfriends because this is so not like me ! Lol just started Paxil today, hope it helps!
Good luck!!
Gawanipony 3 it took me almost 3 weeks to get past the really sleepy phase but I’m so glad I stuck it out because it really helps now !
@@summerwerner1201 Really glad to hear it
Summer Werner did you tell him you are on paxil and you have diagnosis?his reaction?
@@summerwerner1201 it works?😊
Similar story here. I heard terrible things about prescription medication and was scared to death of taking it. But thanks to modern science, medicinal drugs such as SSRI’s and Z-Drugs have fewer side effects, less chance of addiction, less chance of tolerance, and can be taken for longer terms. I had gotten minor PTSD from security work which caused me social anxiety and I always assumed people were criminals. So I was a little on edge, I’d ALWAYS assume people were up to devious acts, and I worried I was being judged everywhere I went. Because of my SSRI (Amitryptamine 25mg) I’m feeling normal again. I use to be so anxious I wouldn’t even sleep some nights. Best part is I started taking SSRI’s during my favorite time of the year. Halloween (Oct) Thanksgiving and my Bday (November) and Christmas (December) I can now enjoy my holidays with family and so far I’m sleeping pretty descently. I almost feel like those happy people in the drug commercials. So glad I was born in this time era. Any other era and our doctors would be prescribing us cocaine syrup and snake oil. 😆
Bail Enforcement hi I am also about to take paxil can you tell me is it really change your personality cause if it's does its actually a positive thing for me cause what I am now I despise it please please please reply mate☺
Thank you for this video 💜
Sixth! Thanks for telling your experience with us
Of course :)
I just started today I feel good man hope it helps me I’m on a lot of shit I suffer PTSD il report back thanks for your video bro oh and iv taken EVERY other ssri so I hope this helps
Well said walzin, Im back on Paxil, only been about 2 weeks on it, my condition is as you explained, which is ruff.
How are you doing these Days?
Great post . I'm on 10mg Escitalopram-Apotex.. . Such a bloody relief, a fucking life saver. I'll never stop taking SSRIs
Oh and the natural remedies I tried never did sh*t lol. All the weed,. CBD and meditating I've done never gave me the results SSRI has......
Really useful thank you for sharing. Wanted to ask as I took it for a month 12.5mg but really struggled with lethargy and tiredness. Did it go away for you?
Thank you man I have the stigma about these medications and I'm trying to work up the courage to try them. One fear I have is losing my job there for losing my insurance and having to go off them rapidly. Do you have any advice about that?
What dose did you take of Lexapro? 10mg or 20mg? I did three weaning from the paxil and the fourth time I came back I didn't get the same effect, do you think I should have increased the dose? is it possible to stop functioning in the body? Greetings.
My doctor prescribed Paxil 10mg for the first 10 days then 20mg for 6 months. I'm not sure about the medicine yet, it has a few annoying side effects but I'm willing to go with it. I'm scared when I stop it I'll relapse, any advice?
Thanks, this is reassuring. I’ve been on Citalopram for 5 years and I felt normal. Anxiety came back 4 months ago and increasing hasn’t helped. Recently had bad OCD and intrusive thoughts pop up. Psychiatrist suggested switching to Paroxetine. Hoping it’ll work out ok and not make things worse.
Really an amazing drug!
How’s paxil going on ?
Good to here you are doing well bud
I'm on paroxetin for like 5 years.. Tried to stop few times.. I had horrible withdraw symptoms... But it does helped me.. I'm calm in stressful situtations . After observing ppl who doesnt take any meds.. They defenetly need Paroxetin!
I was on Ativan and Prozac for about a year and was still having panic attacks atleast twice a day. I switched to klonopin and Paxil about 3 weeks ago and I haven’t had a panic attack in days or maybe even a week 🙏 it’s a relief like no other. It has helped my GAD and OCD. I really hope it helps more with my social anxiety the more I take it. It’s true that some people just need it
I've just started taking them day 2. From sertraline for ten years.. not looking at side effects on the packet because there always long as heck. Be so nice to be able to enjoy life a little bit more without the anxiety and to sleep without the.panic attacks and constant attack of negative thoughts and worry. Keep you posted on what happens. I'm kinda irritable right now.
I have to be on a medication because I battled depression for 5 years naturally, I break out of it but when work stressors hit me I break into a melt down, part of that is because of negative work environments, I need meds because I need to hold down jobs etc what do you recommend?
Thanks for sharing your story. It’s a struggle man. I’m taking Lexapro (SSRI) and I’m hoping it works for me. I started laughing like crazy when I first took it lmao.
I have social anxiety, And the doctor prescribed me But I can't take it because of what people say and because of fear so can I continue it?
muhammad iqbal it takes a long time for it to work. It takes at least a month for the effects to work in. You might feel dizzy, tired, or lightheaded in the first couple of weeks. But it wears off eventually. I got it because I was diagnosed with GAD. But I heard Xanax works right away and helps with anxiety disorders. But it’s an extremely addictive opioid.
@@jayku9524 I just have trouble speaking and meeting people I'm scared of all these things and when I talk in detail, I get stuck in the middle. If this is resolved then my problem will be solved. 😭
The question I have with these meds is how long will thy work? Will I eventually have to keep upping the dose? I’ve never been on them but want to know more. Just all the possible side effects and unknowns is what scares me about them. And could I stop using them if I wanted to.
Does it mitigate risk of Hypertension and Heart issues which might get triggered due to anxiety or dipression??
Thanks for sharing your story 😊🙏
Been looking to get into this because my OCD is destroying my life! I’m in a good relationship feels like I’ll destroy it by my ocd so I’m gonna take action!
I always recommend talking to a doctor but I have underlying undiagnosed OCD about random things from my childhood that started it and after getting on 20mg I don’t notice anything anymore like that. Just my two cents but definitely discuss with doctor!
Bro I have a question, after you stop taking escitalopram, and after the side effects, do you still feel good after that or do you continue having to take it in order for that mood to last ?
Hi did u have physical symptoms like chest pain, lump in the throat sensation, tingling, breathing issues and stomach issues?.... I was dealing with them since 3 months..
It was in the beginning of this month that the lump in my throat sensation got worse and was not going for weeks... I was dying everyday.... I'm on SSRI since 12 days and I feel really really good already.. I'm coming back to living and I'll take them if I need them .... I'm no more ashamed of taking them
Man let me tell you what I was in a bad car accident and almost died ejected from a vehicle that rolled eight times and from that I developed PTSD anxiety and a bunch of other weird symptoms and paxil and Wellbutrin is a freaking lifesaver I can drive on the freeway no problem these days
I appreciate your honesty
I started paroxetine about a month ago best decision I ever made in my life. After suffering for 18 years of generalized anxiety I”m finally free at 30 years old! In my subjective opinion talk therapy only does so much I recommend the 20 mg dose for anybody suffering from anxiety. I’m glad your doing well
My friend!!
I just started taking it but I’m afraid of gaining weight. Did you gain weight?
@@yara.7973 No not at all, it worked really good for me. Do you have anxiety?
@@spencerkristich4369 yes, I do. I’m glad it worked for you, I hope it’ll work for me as well
@@yara.7973 It will I suffered so much form obsessive thinking until I tried it and finally I'm free after 18 years. I strongly recommend you start out with 20 mg of paroxetine my friend!!
Did you have any side effects? & did it help with sleep? I have chronic anxiety that keeps me up all night.
