I have been on generic Paxil 30 mg for 4-5 months. Overall, my anxiety and depression are much better. I no longer have severe nervous breakdowns. My only complaints are that I am tired all the time and I have gained about 10 pounds. If I don't force myself to get out of the house in the morning, I end up napping on the couch all day long (which is bad because I have two young children that end up watching tv all day). The weight gain is due to me eating nonstop at night. I don't know if the drug is to blame for the late night cravings and the tiredness but overall it is worth it.
