Thanks so much! I have tried Paxil and had great success on it a number of years ago. I was only on it for a few years and stopped (tapered down and had no problems with withdrawal). A number of years later, I was in need of an AD again and tried Paxil but it didn't seem to work the second time around. I have heard that that is somewhat common with Paxil, although I was also dealing with severe iron deficiency at the time, so my lack of response could also have been due to that. Anyway, I thought that perhaps Pexeva was just slightly different enough to work where regular Paxil doesn't seem to. Moot point, though, since it's not available in Canada. Perhaps a third trial of Paxil . . . ??? I don't know.
