I am 46 years old and have been on Paxil for 11 years. I had post traumatic depression after an accident in which I broke my leg in 3 places and was wheelchair bound for months. I have some of the weird dreams, but it's no big deal. I feel 100% better while taking Paxil. I have tried to go off it thinking I was okay now, but I am not, I cry at the drop of a hat, and am very depressed. I will take Paxil forever I think, and don't mind. I do have a decreased libido, but have had a hysterectomy also, which has similar side effects. If I miss a daily dose (30mg) I feel dizzy and distracted but it goes away when I take it. I am happily married for 23 years, have two great children in their late teens, early twenties, and I am extremely happy all the time. I never feel depressed or unhappy. It works great for me.

Since I started taking Ovcon 35 I cramp and I had breakthru bleeding/period that lasted 2.5 weeks. I went to the OBGYN and he said remain on it one more mth...and the biggest downfall is the weight gain. I am miserable with the weight gain and I am seriously dieting and nothing seems to shed the weight off since I started taking this pill. Therefore, I plan to stop although I do not want to get pregnant right now if and when that happened it would be ok considering I am happily married and do not have any children yet. I just want to plan that and I want to be able to fit in my clothes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am sick of dieting and due to a BC PILL I am fat!
I can't take Othro Tri Cyclen which I did for 7 yrs due to break thru bleeding. I wish things were simple but I guess they are just not once you hit your 30's!

I am so so FURIOUS with Merck and Singulair! No child especially the innocence of a 4year should be ripped from them from the damn drug companies. Do you know Singulair is one of the biggest money makers for them. Not fair!! I wonder how they would like to pay for my sons mental health bills now!! at $175 a pop because I am not sending him to any old psychiatrist. His pediatrician said it can take up to 6months for Singulair to clear your system. However the Serotonin imbalance that it may create may not. You may need to be put on depression meds, as I am afraid my 4 year old, yes my 4 year old may be put on. And for those of you who wonder. He comes from a very happily married loving home, and no problems at his catholic school. He had no reason for his ugly symptoms of wanting to die at 4 years old. He has been medically evaluated for everything, including a CT and MRI and was cleared!!! It was the Singulair!!!!! Thank god we have all found this website. I wish you all luck and please inform as many as you can. I do not want to see anyone suffer anymore from this. Innocence has been lost. God be with the poor family who lost their 17year from suicide due to this med!!!
