Do you feel like Paxil was miracle drug when it started working? First time I take it just kick in one day like holy toledo! It was not gradual..I took for many years before stupidly quitting. If it works again, I will stay on for life. Just need it to get back to baseline now. How about you?

When I first started talking many years ago it helped in about a month exactly. It has been six weeks now and nothing. High anxiety and some depression. The first time I used it was like miracle drug. This time not so much. I tried about 4 others before I landed on Paxil firt time. They all made me horribly ill. I hope it works again. Doctor boosted dosage from 20 to 40 about ten days ago...

They tried to switch me to Prozac but that was disaster. Back on Paxil for 6 weeks now but no major effect yet on anxiety and depression
