How much of Paroxetine / Sertraline did you take. Paroxetine was the best for me but I gained weight, was always tired on it and had sexual side effects. Do you have really no side effects of Ixel ? No agitation, increased anxiety, tremor or urinary problems (dysuria).... ? I had no luck with Sertraline, was nauseous all the time and gave it up for this reason. What about going higher with Ixel ? Efexor (Venlafaxine) is also possible to go up mor than the recommended 150-375 mg/day !ben
