I understand where you are coming from. I researched Paxil before I went on it and heard about all the horror stories, those side effects arn't fro everyone it depends on your body. And you can't be sure that the side effects are goign to go away or the drug is goign to work unitl up to 6 weeks. Paxil is the 1st Ad my doctor put me on. Paxil worked worked for me. I had more energy, not tired and sleepy all the time, not crying, etc. I was worried about gaining weight too becasue of all the horror storeis I heard too, but if anythign I lost wait from it becasue it decreased my appetite, but everyone is different. I also had sexual dysfuction. I switched to another drug Welbutrin. I was worse then I was depressed I felt terrible. Yes I had a sex drive. I could get orgasms, but I was so sad I didnt' even want to have sex. SO I tried Serzone the same thing I was sad, but I didnt' even have a sex drive at all. After all that horror I went back on Paxil. I want to concentrate on getting better. I still have the sexual dysfuction not being able to ahve orgasms, but I'm happy. IF you have depression the biggest worry you should have is your depression becaseu that's what I am tryign to do and trust me I hate not being able to ahve orgasms, but if I means the only drug that will work for me prevents me from orgasms the faster I get better the sooner I can have orgasms again. And I still do it's jsut harder to reach them that's all.
I hoep this kind of helps you out.Melanie Elanie
