hi Sue,

I don't know if this is even relevant for you, but I've been on Paxil for about 1.5 years now with very mixed results. A friend of mine is also taking Paxil and he told me last week that alcohol completely banished the effects of the medication. Being a somewhat steady drinker (3 - 5 days/week) I took his advice and about 10 days ago I stopped drinking. For a while it was terrible, I'm not sure if I was having alcohol withdrawal or what, but after about 10 or 12 days now, I feel noticably better. If you are drinking at all, I would definitely recommend you quit immediately. My doctor (not to mention my med. info inserts) always told me alcohol and paxil do not mix, but I went ahead on my not-so-merry way anyhow and continued drinking regularly. Not sure if that was the determining factor in the paxil ineffectiveness but I think it certainly had a negative effect.

I hope you start feeling better soon, I know how terrible it feels to be in your position. Keep your head up! :)
