| 5 | Depression & Anxiety | Always sleepy | After taking this drug for four years, I feel like giving my personal input to this wonderful website which gave me a lot of useful information. I would say I am extremely grateful to paxil. Before 2011, I was functioning OK but was at the same time manifesting some symptoms which looking back were actually the symptoms of depression. In April 2011, I had a major bout of depression and was almost unable to sit through my daily job and live a normal life. I was sleepy, tired, sore all over my body and have bowel problems, fever-like symptoms. I almost thought I was dying. After a whole series of medical check, it was eventually clear to me that I had depression. My doctor prescribed Paxil 10mg for daily intake. I felt much better after staying on the drug for about one month but at the same time suffered from a host of side effects such as low sex drive, sleepiness, emotional detachment. The low sex drive went away after some time but sleepiness never disappeared. But overall, on paxil I was eating healthy, exercising everyday and had a positive outlook for life. During the process, I switched to Zoloft once for about 2 months because after long stay on paxil I was unable to tell if it is doing its job, only to find that it is doing its job and Zoloft had almost the same effect but put a whole lot of weight on me (which is all fat). With 10mg paxil and exercise, I was always in good shape. This made me determined to turn back to 10mg paxil again.I also tried weani | M | 29 | 4 years 10mg 1X D | 8/28/2015 | |
