: : : : I have been on paxil for 10 days. I have had chills, nausea, and little zaps throughout my body. Almost like 2-3 second stings. Anyone else experience this? I felt better today than I have mentally in a long time. I think it is finally kicking in. (I take 10mg)

: : I hope this works for all of us. I really did need something to get my fears under control.

: : Babs

: Babs,
: Yep...had the chills and zaps as you say through my body. It's been 4 weeks for me now....I'm going through finding a good dose range for me but it's getting through the side effects to the better days that I have to be persistent and press on.
: Good luck to you! :)
: By the way...sorry for the double post up above....can't tell I'm new eh?! :):)

Wow,
I haven't experienced any zaps or anything like that. I must admit the nausea is very disrupting. I am not sleeping very well...although i'm exhausted at night, i wake up often and toss and turn. I even remember talking to my husband in my sleep...and sounding drunk..I was highly aware of it too! weird side effect dont you think? Well, I must admit, the first few days I felt sort of "out of it" but not anymore... although I'm not as stressed as usual. Well, I will continue to come back and give updates... and I will look for yours! Good Luck!
