Paxil Side Effects


22 years ago 0 5 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Hey I've been on Paxil for about 8 months now, and I would like to let you guys know how I've felt from the beginning to now. Well, my mom put me on Paxil because my brother was having such good results from it. He has social anxiety; I don€™t, but I was antisocial. During the first few months, I felt good, but I noticed I was having problems expressing my thoughts, and I would lose and stumble over words. I just thought I was going through a stupid spell... Now, it seems to be getting worse and it€™s making me very frustrated... I talked to a friend of mine who has social anxiety, and she said she experienced the same thing while she was on paxil... she said she felt spacey most of the time, and that€™s exactly how I feel. I just didn€™t put 2 and 2 together and place it on Paxil. BTW, my brother is having the same problem. Has anyone else experienced this or have any comments? I'm thinking of gradually lowering my dosage and coming off. Withdrawal is gonna suck, but I'm up for it. Any help would be appreciated! Bye
