I was on Paxil 10 years ago (at 16) and was just prescribed it again. When I was on it before my moods went really flat, but my doctor wanted to try it again because it is really good for depression, panic attacks, and OCD (i'm not the last, but it can't hurt!) I go back in 3 weeks to check in with her, but from what I remember the nausea is do-able, dry mouth sucked, and the mood flattening sucked. Just keep your activity and mood charts, and let your doc know if any of the side effects get bad.

with all medication there will be side effects...nausea is a given.the good news it eventually goes away, but as far as my own personal experience it had a reversal effect on me and sent me into a suicidal trance I had never before actually atempted till after I started that med. everyone is diff. just dont ignore what your body is telling you and tell your doc how your doin. increasing the dose rapidly will increase the side effects from what I have learned but you do what you gotta do just ask yourself what you would rather feel more a little nauseas or sad 24/7?

Becky, Please contact your doctor and pharmacist regarding dosages and side effects. You may also want to do a search within the site using the word "Paxil". Members have touched on this subject before. Keep Strong, Josie ___________________________________ The Depression Center Support Team.

My doctor prescribed my paxil a few days ago for depression. I am just starting at 5 mgs, but it is making me have nausea and very nervous, I also feel weird in the head, kind of spacey. I was wondering if anyone has had success with Paxil for depression. Thanks, Becky
