Paxil - anyone used it?

My doc prescribed Paxil 10mg to take at night, He refused to up my Klonopin to 2mg/day so I have to stick with 1/day
it's to prevent panic attacks and balance out the anxiety Wellbutrin is causing me.

I hear so many stories about people gaining weight while on Paxil, it scares me!  I'm not sure if I even want to take it.

Please share your experiences,

Thanks!

I'm never gonna take another Paxil again!  This drug is trash and the FDA should stop it from being sold.  Made me so sick I had to leave work today. Still not feeling right, headache and anxiety. Fortunatelly, the half life elimination process is about 16-24 hr so tomorrow should be better.

I have not had a good nights sleep either. I keep waking up with a lot of anxiety. I wish I never took that pill. I still feel shaky and so sick.

I took 5mg last night and woke up around 11pm with nausea and terrible diarrhea. I passed out in the hallway, from being so weak. My husband found me and helped me back to bed.

Well I just took my first dose of 10 mg today and i don't think I will be taking it again. I don't like the way it is making me feel even if it is just temporary. I just had anxiety before now after taking that one tiny pill I have also had been depressed all night, shaky and having weird thoughts. I have also had diarrhea and been nauseous. But I guess everybody's different.
