blnch,
You might want to try some natural remedies such as fish oil or magnesium for the constipation. I am taking 8 capsules of fish oil (2.6mg EPA/DHA) and 600mg Magnesium glycinate in addition to the Paxil CR and it has helped tremendously in relieving constipation. I actually started taking it for mood enhancement in combination with other supplements, but this was a welcome side effect. I also feel that it has a postitive effect on my mood.
I know it is difficult to find your way through the medication maze; not all of them work and others have intolerable side effects. However, I am always so grateful, once a med does work and gets me out of a setback.
I hope the Paxil CR continues to work for you and that you can find a solution for the constipation.
Good luck
