This medication actually works very well in anxiety disorders like Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), but you should not take it for more than a year. I suffered GAD for over four months, so I went to see a doctor specialized in anxiety disorders and depression, who prescribed me this medication, and now I feel just like I did before I had GAD. I'm back to normal, but you have to keep doing physical exersice to prevent a future relapse. Hope this info helps.

You will go through hell on earth coming off of this drug.

I have been on this crap for about a month now. It works as far as relieving of my anxiety, but the side effects suck. I have constant headaches and nausea as well as blurred vision and constipation. I like the fact that it has relaxed me, but what can I do about the symptoms? My doctor keeps telling me that the side effects will pass, but how long do I need to deal with them?

first of all: the pharmacist is fucking hot :D

second: Im an extremely neurotic and emotional unstable person who suffers from recurrent depressions for his whole life. Always haunted by worries and doubts and fears all day long. Do you think this stuff will help me and would it be possible to take it for the rest of my life?

I actually winged my self off of this stuff and it wasn't nearly as bad as everyone has stated.. I had a few kicks with small eye seizures (Which aren't bad just because of the word seizure guys -__- They're more annoying than anything) because of my own stupidity, but after that, I felt a little apathetic at first, but you just have to realize that it's the withdrawals and not you so you can fight the feeling. Took me about 2 weeks to get off of it.

@exibero....yes, Paxil is good for anxiety but the withdrawl from missing days and long term use is not so cool. I have been taking this for over 20 years and I would love to wween off it slowly. There are other ways~! Let's stop the pharmecutical companies from drugging the world~!

I found paroxetine to be a savor, i suffer from flushing and social phobia, Have been on it before and come off it ok, Biggest thing for me was the apathy and the nightmares but a small price to pay for the not giving a fuck feeling it brings, so fuck off all the haters

[AwakePublius420]

This stuff is dangerous. No one should be taking this, it just makes things worse.

If the drug didn't work for you why stroll around videos and only feed the fear of people who already have a fear disorder? This really fucked up my first few days with the drug because I had the fear of terrible things to happen, when in fact nothing happened. If after those 3-4 days of taking it nothing bad happens, try having a positive outlook on how your situation will improve... And as I wrote before go to a fucking therapy to dig to the root of the problems that caused your situation!!
