When it started causing breathing problems I stopped taking it. I have CHF, COPD, Diabe ... Show Full Comment

I will not take Paxil again...

makes me feel overall happier and more at ease and level headed, and less anxiety. Mood is lifted, and I a can get up in the morning and look forward to the day in a more positive way, and enjoy my kids again.

I decided (with my doctor's approval) to quite taking it because I began having trouble with erosion of my tooth enamel which I had read could be caused by Paxil and long term use.It also effected my weight and ability to lose unwanted pounds.Getting off of this drug was a horrible experience and felt like a narcotic withdrawl(what I would think it would be like).I had night sweats and terrible flares of temper over a 1 month reduction.I have been off of it for approx 5 months trying different medications but am going back on it becuase I did benefit from taking it to much more of an extent than I did from others I have tried.
