experiences with ssri's? what should I expect

Posted by mikes on March 28, 2001, at 22:30:12

i just started taking paxil a week ago for dysthymia. I haven't used any other drugs since I started. The first few days, up until two days ago, were very interesting. For anywhere from a minute to 45 minutes during all of those days, I experienced a rush of moderate serotonergic euphoria...my concept of "normal" was redefined, and I was very happy. I was hoping that as the paxil kicked in more strongly, I would begin to feel like that the entire day. However, the last two days weren't any good at all. I felt like crap, for the most part, plus I didn't get a rush of euphoria. I was suprised because I took my dose at an earlier than normal time on one of those days, and on the next I went from 10mg to 20mg.

Anyway, what I'm trying to find out is what I can expect from paxil/ssri's. Can the effects be strong or are they very mild at best?
