User Reviews for paroxetine oral

Years ago I took paxil for anxiety and depression. Worked well for me. For over almost 7 years or more I didn't need anything. Starting July of this year I had lots of life changes and begin to have panic attacks again. Due to the awful insurance coverage I must get the generic. Not real sure but in the last month or so I started to have night sweats and almost panic attacks due to my disruption in sleep. Can not seem to sleep more than 2 hours at a time. Not sure if it is this medication or not. Read More Read Less

Paxil has been a godsend for me. After taking it, I immediately stopped worrying about EVERYTHING! Makes me feel normal and not afraid to approach new situations. Was a bit hard to get used to it. Maybe took about 2 weeks before not having diarrhea and initial dizziness. If a dose is missed, I know, as I feel dizzy. Other than that, I feel so normal and confident. Not sure I ever want to wean off this medication. Im sure it works differently for every person. Guess I was lucky my first time around, because it has worked so well for me and have never had to experiment with other brands.Read More Read Less

dizziness upon discontinuing

Once I stoped using this medication, the withdrawal syptoms were horrible. The doctor was quick to prescribe this medication but she only gave me 2 refills. The doctor never mentioned the withdrawals. I felt like i was going to die, from the dizziness, lightheadedness, and out of body feeling. My depression and constant headaches went away during my treatment, but i would have never taken this medication had i know the withdrawals symptoms.

I have only been on this medicine for a few days. I take 10 mg at night, and in the morning I feel hung over until about 2 to 4 pm, then I feel normal for about 4 to 5 hours before I take it again. I do not feel depressed, anxiety, or moody. I do feel like someone is scrambling my brains. I have been on other bi-polar medicine for 15 years, and about every 5 to 6 years I need to switch because medicine either does not help, or I have become manic. So far I am not happy with this medicine, but will continue to try it for a few weeks to give it a fair try.Read More Read Less

Been on it for 3 months. First month was great, then the body pain started to be unbareable And the worse part was my sex life. I became the Energiser Bunny, my wife likes it but I can't " finnish". After reading all of your comments I wish I never started this drug. Im affraid to stop because of the withdrawls

I began taking this medication 60 days ago and since a week after taking it, I find myself in a more relaxed and cheerfull mood. But, I do still find myself sleeping more and more often falling asleep while sitting.

Every time I take this I get very sick. My stomach feels like someone pulled it out and twisted it up and stomped on it. My head doesn't feel much better.

I had taken this medication for less then one month and I will NEVER take it again. Happy one minute, next minute a total horses butt, next minute ready to kill myself, and then break down and cry like a baby. NEVER again! Thanks to my wife that she handled me for one month like this.

I have had good luck with this medicine except I have been missing taking quite a few doses and have gotten irritable and angry didn't realise this was a side effect.Anyone else had this problem?

It's too expensive

Since being on this mediction i think i'm begining to not sleep as well. Also i was wondering why i wanted to eat so much. So i guess it's this medication. I just feel so hungrey at times that if i don't get some food i will go crazy.I take 30 mg of it. Has anyone else expericene this before while on this med. ?

no side effects no real effects at all unless I stop taking it

I have been on this med for about 8 years now. At first, it worked great for my depression, but almost destoyed my sex life. My drive is fine, but I have an extremely hard time to ejaculate. I really need a higher dose because I am borderline with the depression thing now, but I really dont dare with the side effect. Also, I have gained an average of 8-10 pounds per year and no matterwhat I do, I cant take any off. I think I need a different med.

my depression lifted.

i have been using paroxetine Hcl oral and my daughter likes to steal my pain medication can these be in anyway harmful to her?

Too: CONCERNED, 45-54 Female on Treatment for 5 to less than 10 years (Patient). This stuff works great for me but I've only been on it a little over a year. I forgot my meds at my brothers place 1 time, he lives 200 miles away and within 2 days I was afraid to drive. I was shakey, light headed, felt like I was getting shocked. I finally called my doctor and said I need just 4 Paroxetine to get me thru the week until I get back to my brothers. He did and I have never forgot them again. I have read many, many accounts that getting off Paxil / Paroxetine is very hard and an extremely slow process.Read More Read Less

Been using it for years; so far it has been effective. Want to check side effects, tho.
