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.
