ya I have been on paxil for 12 years. I'm super happy with it. The first 3-4 weeks are rough getting used to it, 2 weeks for some people. Theres tremors (shakes), dry mouth and bleh feeling. After you get through the getting used to period, its gold. They can and probably will take the panic away. Be prepared for lower sex drive though.
holy shit.....how many mg?? i stopped taking my paxil a year ago, couldnt deal with the SIDES no more. i think i started at 30mg then went up to 60 and was on that for 3yrs, up until last summer. I was in a NO WIN situation with paxil, just like you said though, it helped me TREMENDOUSLY with my anxiety, panic attacks BUT like just said the sides were fuckin horrible. I was first taking it in the mornings, no good. I noticed that about 2-3hrs after id take it, thats when the SIDES would kick in...the nausea, dizziness, tiredness, so i told my doc all i would do is sleep all day cuz of the sides, so then he told me to start taking it in the evenings, then on top of that, i was taking TRAZADONE150MG every night to sleep, and basically with TRAZADONE, its so strong that it has a "hangover effect". So basically having sides from both the trazadone and paxil, all i did was sleep alll fuckin day. Like i keep saying though, the trazadone and paxil helped tremendously but the sides were brutal so i just started PROZAC 10mg a few weeks ago and still taking my trazadone150mg but i only take half of pill, 75mg.
