| 1 | I was switched to Paxil CR | I became weak, didnt sleep well, woke up anxious and nervous. Experienced upset stomach, light headed, dizziness. Made me sleepy most of the toime during the day. Overall, I woild not recommend taking this medicine, unless your doctor says something. I could not handle the side effects, so thats why I will go back to the regualr paxil. | M | 19 | 1 weeks | 6/21/2002 | 5 | Panic Disorder | Sleepiness during afternoons, Mild Insomnia keeping me up till about midnight-1:00AM. | Taken with Dinner @ 7pm, I have hardly any side effects. Especially as bad as I did with Other SSRI's. This medicine is much better as far as side effects go... If you've tried another SSRI, and it treated you bad, Try Paxil CR. Good Luck all !! | M | 27 | 16 days | 6/6/2002 | 5 | Depression | Moderate headaches, minor constipation, fatigue during early days, some insomnia. | Side effects seem to be getting less, and taking trazodone at night solved the insomnia, which I expect to go away by itself. Made my libido STRONGER not weaker...:)) I have more energy, and am more optimistic....so far so good. | M | 55 | 14 days | 6/6/2002 | 3 | Anxiety | Could not sleep at all, headaches, constipation. | Will start taking in the morning, to hopefully sleep at night. Hopefully other side effects will go away over time. | F | 22 | 1 weeks | 6/4/2002 | 2 | anxiety/depression | I've always had stomach trouble- Paxil CR just made it worse with wave after wave of nausea. Makes the day drag by when you are drowsy, too. Persistant slight headache on and off. These continued even two days after my final dosage. | With all I've experienced and heard about how hellish it is going on and getting off this med, I would never recommend it to anybody. | F | 22 | 2 days | 5/31/2002 | 4 | anxiety/panic attacks | The first 2 weeks I experienced nausea,apathy, extreme tiredness and a horrible fuzzy feeling in my head, however, this has passed and the medication is now working well. I am still experiencing some tiredness but as I also take a beta blocker for high blood pressure the combination of the two is probably causing this. | I would recommend taking "time out" in the first two weeks of taking the medication to give your body time to adjust. | F | 44 | 6 weeks | 5/23/2002 | 5 | depression | none | saved my life. | M | 40 | 1 years | 5/21/2002 | 4 | Anxiety/panic disorder | Sleepiness,crampy, diarrhea | none to date,haven't been on it for a long duration of time yet. | F | 29 | | 5/20/2002 | 3 | Depression/Anxiety | nausea/stomach pain/"burning" sensation in face (always occurs in the a.m. - I take the pill @ night)/diarrhea/apathy & feeling very, very tired | I don't think I will continue. I know I need something to assist me @ this time in my life but do not feel this is the drug for me | F | 35 | 2 weeks | 5/17/2002 | 4 | Depression | So far, the only side effect has been drowsiness so I make sure that I take it at night before bedtime and get a full night's sleep. | I've only been taking it since Tuesday, 5/7. I was on Paxil 10 mg a day before my dr switched me to Paxil CR. (I've been experiencing terrible weight gain and she thinks CR might help.) So far, so good. | F | 36 | 5 days | 5/11/2002 | 5 | | 4/24/2002 | 5 | | 4/24/2002 | 5 | | 4/24/2002 | 4 | | 4/24/2002 | 1 | Depression | Horrible stomach pain and nausea 24 hours a day, so sleepy I fell asleep every time I sat down, heart palpitations, felt like a zombie, completely apathetic about everything. | F | 35 | 2 weeks | 3/1/2001 |
