i have been on paxil for about 3 or 4 months now following several life traumas over a short time. my side effects from paxil have been as follows: - very vivid dreams/nightmares, sumtimes hard to determine if it really happened or not. - palms sweat like crazy - gained at least 10 pounds - hair texture seems to be dry and thinner - urinate frequently (has gotten better after a few months) - very sleepy, yawn frequently (yawning has gotten better) - can sleep for almost 24 hours straight (18 hours last sat.) - does not mix well with alcohol!!! enhances the effects of alcohol and has made me hysterical. - upon waking up and laying in bed, objects appear to "jump" and colors look faded. - no pain, just upper neck and back stiffness HOWEVER the major BENEFIT outways all: no more panic attacks and much less anxiety...i feel so much calmer and like my old self again. Good luck to everyone!
