Yes I have!! I was on it for several years without problems ~ at least I cannot remember any?Maybe my memory's been affected?When I cracked up later I wanted to have more prescribed, but as the 'horror stories' had persuaded it was no longer safe. If you take your time to wean yourself off it you'll be fine. Take your time & remember only those that have 'problems' tend to shout about them. Few say that 'the drugs saved my life' etc. I'm now on Effexor/Zoloft for life due to relapsing too many times ~ but Paxil was not the cause of it. Good Luck,

Thank you so much for your positive feedback, that is what I needed to hear. I have been taking paxil 20 mg. for about 15 years. With my doctor I am weaning down, I am on 10 mg right now for about 5 days and feel dizzy and a little foggy. I started reading about all of the terrible side effects and began to get very nervous. My situation is a little different where I am 7 weeks pregnant and that is my motivation to stop taking it. I had a rough night last night, had a panic attack and trouble sleeping. I am hoping this will not last too long.
