Ill
I took paxil some time ago for a little while. It didn't really seem to do much for me, but I did experience a few unpleasant side effects. The worst of those would be weight gain and these weird electric zaps in my brain. Coming off the medication was absolutely horrible too, I was so sick. I did stop taking it suddenly though rather than slowly lowering the dosage. Withdrawal may not be so bad if done gradually. You can try paxil, because I know it has worked for some people. I'm sure not everyone experiences negative side effects, or at least have the positive ones to outweigh them. The only way to really know if it works for you is to try it out. I hope you find a way to elevate your mood again!
