Paxil Posted: 11-08-05 04:05am
I was just prescribed paxil and am
wondering if anyone else might be able to
share how they feel about this drug and
what side effects you had, if you have or
are taking it. The doctor said that for
someone like me, who is in a constant
state of anxiety pretty much every day,
this is the best prescription. I am not
a big pill person wonder if it is even
worth trying. Thanks in advnace for your
response!

I was given paxil last week for general
stress/panic. I started having breathing
problems and rapid heart rate 3 months
ago. Everything comes back normal.
Cariologist and pulmonologist said
everything is fine.
Anyway, the first day I took it I thought
I was going to shake out of my chair. I
felt like had drank 30 cups of coffee.
It's been 5 days now and I still have the
side effects. I feel anxious in general
now, and sometimes my hands shake so bad I
can hardly type, not good in my
profession. Other times I can't stay
awake. I already called my Dr. About the
side effects and he said to give it
another week or so.

Hello jen,
well I started taking prozac about 3 weeks
ago, and I feel just fine. In fact I feel
much better then I was when I was taking
celexa. I was very scared of taking
prozac because I always thought this drug
was for very crazy people, but I was wrong
( ofcurse :-)) I feel good calm and with
less anxiety. So, I really really hope
that works for you...The only side effect
I had was drowsiness but thats it.
Good luck

I Been Taking Paxil For a Yr Posted: 11-14-05 14:29pm
And I think side effects for me were very
tired, dizzyness. My doc also prescribed
buspar together with paxil to deal with my
anxiety and I think its working.
