PEXEVA  (PAROXETINE MESYLATE):  Paroxetine is used to treat depression, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and anxiety disorders. 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. It may also reduce the urge to perform repeated tasks (compulsions such as hand washing, counting, and checking) that interfere with daily living.   FDA Approval Date: 2003-07-03 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 4  Depression/anxiety Very tired, lowered sex drive, difficulty reaching orgasm, laziness (stopped running), slight weight gain, vivid dreams Really did wonders for my anxiety and depression. Made me feel very happy. My only complaints are regarding the lethargy and sexual side effects. Other than that, it's been wonderful. F 37 6 months

 3  Depression/Anxiety Difficulty orgasm, low libod, small weight gain. Some fogginess and laziness Seems to be a slight improvement over the regular Paxil; it's a different salt so it is released differently. I didn't notice the shocks and the extreme withdrawal when forgetting to take the medicine like Paxil. Maybe worth a try if you really like Paxil. Less sedating than CR M 29 2 months

 4  Anxiety / Depression Sexual Dysfunction, occasional fast or irregular heartbeat Out of all the anti-depressants I've been on (which is A LOT), this has definitely helped me the most.. Im so happy about that too, I was getting desperate. The only negative thing I have to say about this is the annoying sexual side effects.. Ughh, I can't orgasm anymore and that's not really helping my depression. Despite all that, Im still so much better than before. :) As far as helping my anxiety; W o w, social anxiety is four times better. General anxiety is much more controllable too. I don't think I've had a panic attack in forever. So, yay! F 19 4 months
