Hi Greg,
I can give you a little insight about how Paxil worked for me. It made me a different person; I liked me on Paxil. Socially, I felt more in place. I could actually speak to people without feeling stupid. The downfall for me with Paxil was the side effects. I was put on it three months before I got married. (You can imagine the anxiety associated with that!) By the time I was into a month of marriage, I had absolutely no interest in sex. I gained 15 lbs. My hair started to fall out. Besides all that, it was great. Needless to say, I got off. I switched to Serzone, which I didn't like at all. It made me feel weirder than I already did. I'm now on Effexor xr (2 weeks; doing fine so far.) It might encourage you to know that my brother is on Paxil and doing great!!!! He is a different person, and better yet, having no trouble with side effects. Who knows? It may be just what you need. Hang in there and see how you feel.
Good luck. Cakes
