PAXIL CR  (PAROXETINE HYDROCHLORIDE):  Paroxetine is used to treat depression, panic attacks, anxiety disorders, and a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (premenstrual dysphoric disorder). It works by helping to restore the balance of a certain natural substance (serotonin) in the brain. Paroxetine is known as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). This medication may improve your mood, sleep, appetite, and energy level and may help restore your interest in daily living. It may decrease fear, anxiety, unwanted thoughts, and the number of panic attacks. Paroxetine may lessen premenstrual symptoms such as irritability, increased appetite, and depression.   FDA Approval Date: 2000-12-06 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 4  anxiety, panic attacks sleeping too much and weight gain I've always been super skinny.. and I don't know what it is about this combo of Paxil CR 25 mg and Buspar.. but I have gained so much. i went from a size 2.. *barely small enough* to a size six *struggling to fit in* thats depressing but i almost dont care because I feel amazingly better. situations that would drive me crazy and make me panic have become ok. Somewhat weary of the fact that I may have to rely on a drug to feel "normal" for the rest of my life. But i'm ok with it for now. Only downside .. being a college student.. alcohol is a huge part of the college lifestyle. I still drink... not much.. but in the morning I feel like I suffer from increased anxiety. Guess I should read the warning lables. F 22

 4  Panic attacks and anxiety Loss of appetite and weight loss of about ten pounds. Also developed an eye twitch and occasional nightmares. Otherwise, I havent noticed anything It is MUCH MORE effective than Lexapro for TRUE panic attacks. I was on Lexapro 10 mg for years and still had severe Panic attacks at times Once I switched over to Paxil CR they are almost completely gone. Regular Paxil was horrible tho, it made me SO tired but the CR doesnt. F 24
