re: Better Alternative to Paxil

I tried to get back on Paxil last summer and it was just awful. I have never been more tired and depressed. I just laid around the house all day with absolutely no motivation to do a single thing until well into the evening.

When I took it before, many years ago, I don't remember those same problems. I do remember the problems when I came off of it but it wasn't too bad, it was just these really bad jolts that came out of nowhere. Almost as if I was suddenly shocked by something. The whole world would shake for a second and then it was back to normal. It didn't last too long and it wouldn't happen if I weaned myself off.

I ended up just not taking anything for anxiety and get valium from a friend for when I really need it. I don't take it often, at all, because it makes me sleepy. I think it is better than taking something every single day and since I don't have issues abusing it, I will stick with it as long as my friend can give me the extras. Illegal...don't care.
