The best I can offer is my own experience. I have taken Paxil, it helped quite a lot, but I can remember saying to myself that I could never go thru the initial 6 weeks again - it was absolutely terrible. I am not recommending to not take it - sounds like you are sensitive to the side effects of drugs - lower the dose at least in half or to 5mgs and go up slowly - it will take longer to get to a therapeudic dose but you won't be suffering quite such terrible side effects. My sister took Paxil, also, but she had no trouble with the first weeks - almost felt nothing. I really wish you the best with this and feel like I understand what you are going through. I still had to take an occasional Klonapin, half a .5 for anxiety. Richard
