Comment:
I have been on Paxil for 6 yrs. It has been a miracle. I have been off it 2 times and its always because other people make me feel bad for takeing it. They call it a crutch or act like I get high on it. My symptoms always return with out Paxil. And I have to go threw all that suffering for nothing. I will take paxil all my life and be happy I have it the alternitive for me is killing myself.

I started paxil when I was 16 then after about 2 years I was weaned off of it and was panic free until about 2 years ago. I started paxil along with hydroxine for break through. all though the paxil works it has trouble side effects if i forget a dose. I feel jittery and tinglely in my mouth and hand. but over all it i am happy with the paxil

I would only get panic attacks when I went far from home or my comfort zone. And I mean far. Vacations were horrible as the panic attacks would set in and I never thought I would get back home. Paxil has taken this nonsence away and now I can enjoy long journeys and vacations.
