Paxil worked great for me! It was the first AD I had used. My pdoc started me on 5 mgs (I cut 10mgs in half), for about a week then 10mgs. And a 10mg dose up about every 4-5 weeks untill I got to 40.
He suggested, And I did, take the Meds at night to help me get through the side effects easily.
He also gave me something to help me sleep, when I needed it.
I am so glad I got through the starting effects. Which subsided in a couple of months. Paxil helped me tremendosly.
I NEVER gained weight and withdrawl was not too bad either.
Best Wishes,
CindyI believe tirating up and tapering down VERY SLOWLY is key when adjusting to any Meds.
