I have been on Paxil for about 9 months now (20mg) and it has been a wonderful aid to my severe health anxiety and depression. Though the side effect have been around since the early months I have noticed an increase in them lately such as my vivid dreams have gotten very strong, ability to climax has decreased, but the insane sweating has improved. All in all there a lot of side effects related to this medicine but in my opinion they do not come close to out weighing the benefits of the medication. Before you begin this medication make sure you ask you doctor lots of questions and understand that this medicine can be a bit life changing since it comes with withdrawal when you decide to tapper off. But in my opinion it is a great tool when battling anxiety, another great tool is therapy too! Therapy has been a huge help for me and I totally recommend going to see someone if you are able! Hope this helps.

I stopped taking Paxil. Cold turkey I feel like killing myself. Im always feeling like everyones is out to get me or using me. I think evil thoughts. Feel way out of reach of everyone. like way out in row boat with no land or anyone around me. not sure if that is a side effect or not.
