Who here takes Paxil? - Anxiety Message Board

Drew H · 12-09-2002, 06:04 PM

Hey all --

I finally admitted to having moderate generalized anxiety... and my doctor.. who RARELY gives out medication if not needed, agreed, and gave me a prescription for Paxil.

I'm going to start it soon..

Who here has used it with success?
Any side effects?

I can't wait to start feeling myself again..

I'm glad i have people to talk to about it here.

I will say to you though..please remember to take your doseage regularly – if I miss a couple of days I feel very dizzy. Also alcohol – for me it’s a big no no. I have been naughty and have had the odd binge…but I suffer for it quite badly as it stops the paxil from working.

Other than that – I had no real side effects, I felt a little nausea and a bit tired, but that’s nothing really.
I wish you all the luck in the world…and a much happier year to come. Well done

I had no side effects taking 15mg Paxil. It seemed to have no effect on me. But I have heard it work wonders? Hope it helps u.

Drew - i did actually post a message before that as i have to post 2 instead of one long one!

?

The thing with anxiety is we dont usually know what its about - just a constant thing around us.
I have found it helpful to look into my past to see what could be the root of it all...It helps you to stop asking "why"
