Hi Leedsman, I too have had success with Paxil. I decided to try something different after gaining some weight and problems with sexual S/E's. My doc switched me from regular Paxil to the time released variety to see if it would help with the S/E's. I had to go up 10 mgs in dose to keep the same effect. After several weeks on the time release stuff the anxiety started to creep back in. So I was switched back to regular Paxil and within a few days the problems went away. I know that the time release form of Paxil is effective or it would never have hit the market. It just didn't work in my case. I am currently in my 5th week of Lex and my doc just upped my dosage from 10mgs to 20 mgs yesterday. I have had a terrific headache for most of the day. I am looking forward to better days. Good luck with the Pax.
