I'd have to agree...Paxil can be nasty stuff. The problem I had was that it really did not even begin to touch the anxiety problem that it was prescribed for...and in fact the complete loss of sex drive and being able to have orgasms made me even MORE anxious!
My sister takes it and actually likes it and says it works well for her but...again always with the buts...she has been trying for almost a year to be weaned off of it without success (she still is on a very small dose, but the minute that small dose is not taken the withdrawal symptoms kick up, she's ended up in hospital twice because of it).
It never ceases to amaze me how many of the drugs for treating anxiety, dpression, etc., are handed out by docs like candy without ever really discussing what your life is going to be like once you're on them...or god forbid...once you have to go off of them.
