Paxil is definitely not for everyone. It works great for some people, but others can react to it very badly, including becoming suicidal. And it is one of the hardest antidepressants to get off of.
If you are an adult (over 21) and suffer from anxiety, Paxil may be the answer for you. If your problem is primarily depression, I would advise you to discuss a different antidepressant with your doctor. And if you are not an adult, DO NOT TAKE PAXIL. It can be very dangerous for children and teenagers.

Paxil works by stopping the reuptake of seratonin and norepinephrine. So your mood is stabilized and anxiety is reduced. It's very complicated.....On the focus, I'm not sure. Talk to your doctor about these questions or simply look up Paxil on the Internet.........Good luck to you

I don't know, because I stopped taking it after 4 days because it was making me jittery, and I was banging my foot up and down in bed before I went to sleep. It did make my mind feel different, but I can't explain it and don't know if it was god or bad. I was on the lowest dose also. I know people who have taken it and they told me it takes about a month for the side effects to go away. I later took Lexapro for a while with no side effects, but it didn't do anything for me. So I've given up on pills for now. My problems are very minor and it isn't worth it. Maybe if they can better target the drug to the individual person's chemistry or DNA, one day I will try again.

that drug is bad. I was on that years ago and had such bad judgment that I almost killed myself and my daughter as well as another vehicle full of people. I have heard others with really bad horror stories and very few good ones, and I have worked in physch. I would say to stay away...
