| 4 | Anxiety & depression | Alcoholism | overall it did what i was looking for | F | 28 | 6 months | 2/26/2005 | 4 | | 2/25/2005 | 4 | anxiety, panic and depression | i don't have any side effects other than have to take klonopin to help with my panicky feelings until the paxil cr kicks in. i have only been on it for 2 days so it is too soon to tell. but i have been having panicky feelings around the time i need to take my next dosage. I don't know if it is due to the paxil wearing off or what. i am also not eating...no real appetite. | I have only been taking paxil cr for 2 days, i also take klonopin twice daily to help control my panic and to calm me down. but i am only suppose to be on this until the paxil kicks in...hopefully. I am still feeling anxious and i am unable to take naps in the afternoon even though i am TIRED. i still walk up the early mornings with a feeling of panic and am unable to get back to sleep. SO mornings are hard. But i am hoping in another couple of days that the paxil will kick in and all will be better. i look forward to the weight gain due to be losing 10 or more pounds with the anxiety and depression. I am a little person so i need some weight. | F | 27 | 2 days | 2/25/2005 | 4 | Anxiety, Panic Attacks | WEIGHT GAIN. I think i have gained about 25 lbs since taking this medicine. I have been on it for about 3 months. I am also tired all the time, but i do not know if this is because i work full time and go to school full time or the medicine. | F | 25 | 3 months | 2/24/2005 | 4 | GAD, OCD, SAD | anxiety | I take 37.5 mgs of Paxil CR. Seems to work great for my anxiety, even though it caused me anxiety when i first started, it is gone now. CR version alot better and smoother than regular paroxetine. | M | 2 months | 2/19/2005 | 3 | premature ejaculation | None | M | 20 days | 2/18/2005 | 4 | depression anxiety | Loss of appetite.. hard to get an erecetion... lasted longer in bed though which is good | it works | M | 20 | 1 months | 2/17/2005 | 3 | Depression/ Anxiety | weight gain (can't stress this enough!); complete disappearance of libido | I have been taking Paxil CR for three months. Although it has been effective in helping to significantly reduce anxiety and insomnia, weight gain has really been a problem for me and in a sense it offsets the beneficial effects of the drug. I would not recommend this drug for anyone who is weight conscious. | F | 24 | 3 months | 2/15/2005 | 1 | anxiety/depression | Weight gain, tired all the time | I am addicted and can not come off without terrible withdraw. I still have not be able to endure the withdraw and am back on for now. | F | 35 | 13 years | 2/15/2005 | 1 | social anxiety | withdrawl symptoms were a nightmare and I just wanted to die! The worst feeling in my life. I even got into an auto accident during the withdrawl period. I was so dizzy and disoriented@ | F | 52 | 2 years | 2/15/2005 | 4 | anxiety/panic attacks | fatigue, trouble sleeping, decrease in appetite, unable to loose weight,lower sex drive, frequently headaches, shakes, vivid dreams. If anyone has a rememdy to help me sleep without the crazy dreams, please contact me. | As far as paxil CR helping with my anxiety it works great, but the side effects are difficult to deal with. | F | 23 | 3 years | 2/9/2005 | 2 | Anxiety | Sleepiness, lack of appetite, lack of motivation, sleep disturbances, headache (off/on), vision/eye stain, loose bowels. | I'm not sure this is the drug for me. My desire to eat has greatly diminished. When I do I am left with a loose bowels. The little motivation I had before taking this med is all but gone now. I fear I might loose my job. Just can't stay awake thru the day, or sleep at night. Constant state of listlessness. I hope to talk to my Doc next week. | F | 30 | 4 weeks | 2/9/2005 | 1 | OCD | I experienced loss of emotion, dry mouth, severe weight gain (50 lbs), severe lack of labido, difficulty with climax, sleep disturbances, yawning, and muscle/joint aches. | I would never recommend taking an SSRI. Mainly due to the weight gain and control that the drug takes over your mind and body. If you can find an alternative to medication I would do it. It is even worse coming off the medicine. I have been on it for 4 years and I have gained over 50 pounds. I finally decided to try stopping it. It will take me a long time because doing this too fast will make your side-effect reactions even more severe than when you start. | F | 30 | 3.5 days | 2/8/2005 | 2 | Panic Attacks, Social Anxiety, OCD | lightheadedess, panicky, insomnia, irritability, malaise, lethargy | I have been taking it for 4 days and these side effects are horrible. I called my Psych and he said to stop taking it. I felt crazy on it. I woke up this morning with a panic attack. I never got those that early in the morning. I dont think this drug is for me. | M | 27 | 4 days | 2/7/2005 | 4 | panic , anxiety , fear from disease | None are serious | 1- take it under Good Dr. supervision 2- do not stop it by yourself 3- take it at the morning | M | 37 | 3 months | 2/4/2005 | 5 | anxiety depression panic attacks | sexual decrease, weight gain | I was taking paxil not cr. saved my life, did not mind the weight gain because I was so glad I felt better, prior to taking the med I could not eat so it was a relief to eat again. I did have to wean very, very slowly but in the long run it was so worth it. God bless. | F | 41 | 1 years | 2/1/2005 | 5 | anxiety | weight gain. About 9lbs. | It helped me a great deal. I don't tend to worry as much about things anymore. | F | 23 | 3 months | 1/30/2005 | 2 | panic- anxiety attacks | tired, not being able to FEEL anything emotionally, extremely unmotivated and lazy | I would not recommend this drug to anyone | F | 57 | 11 months | 1/30/2005 | 3 | | 1/26/2005 | 4 | Anxiety, major depression | I have experienced many side effects during the first 2 months of taking Paxil CR 25mg. My dose has now been increased of half. | I still sweat a lot and have trouble sleeping even though I'm very tired. No appetite. My mood is better and feel very calm. I can't start a project and finish it. I loose interest very easilly. Seeing a lot of people tires me especialy the noice. I've takin Paxil for 14 months before and know about the side effects when coming off of it. My two girls are the only reason that I am taking this medecine again. It does help as long as you stay on it and talk to your doctor. | F | 39 | 3 months | 1/25/2005 |
