I have taken Paxil for several years for Fibro and Neuropathy. Since I am in constant pain, I get very agitated easily so I was given Paxil to help take the edge off my days. Yes it has helped. But I have a terrible sweating problem. It has been going on for several years also and no one has ever mentioned it could be caused from the Paxil. I am embarrassed to even go out anymore because I have sweat rolling down my face and my hair gets wet. I know people are starring at me. After reading all the side effects, which I have many but always just associated them to my other problems, I think I may also try to get off this drug and just see if the sweating stops. If I could go a day, out in public, without this sweating, it would be the happiest day in my life. I am almost to the point of being a recluse now. So keep your fingers crossed for me and a prayer wouldn't hurt also! Thanks

To Warriormom I have the same condition as you with the fibro and understand you fully. I have been taking Paxil for years but I also have a thyroid condition. Do you? I was having terrible sweats. My clothes were always wet. Then they lowered my throid medication and I have been fine since. Took a while to find out. Hope this helps. God Bless You
