Hi,

Has anyone had any success with Paxil? I'm seeking some anti-depressant success stories....Thanks!

Namaste,

Paxil is an antidepressant in a group of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. It works by restoring the balance of serotonin which helps to improve certain mood problems.

Paxil is used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder.

At a low dosage there are usually no side effects and because it treats depression as well as anxiety it is widely used.

I was on Paxil for about 2 months, but unfortunately, I have bipolar disorder which is very difficult to treat.  It's only been recently that I have found a medication cocktail that works.

I've been on paxil twice and both times it has worked well for me. I wouldn't hesitate to use it again if needed.

Paxil and Lexapro was about the only 2 I could really tolerate and that worked. I had pretty good success on it and was on for 3 years at one point. I liked it-but you have to really give it a good 3 months for your body to adjust to it if your sensitive and to ride out some of the side effects. It made me a little more sweaty and a little increase in anxiety but helped greatly with motivation, ocd, and social anxiety. Kind of a little manic high all the time but all the ssri's do that anyways.
