In reply to paxil help me, posted by suebird on February 2, 2004, at 11:37:19
Hey,
I had a lot of trouble on Paxil. I never really did notice any improvement, although my therapist told me I had improved. I was hot all the time, gained weight, profoundly sleepy, and after I'd been on it about 9 months, I *really* wanted to kill myself. Serious, serious suicidal ideations, unlike any I'd ever had before. I got off Paxil and felt amazing for 2 weeks, and then crashed. Wellbutrin helped me a lot more. Not perfect, but better.
I think you need to talk to your doctor about what you are feeling. Meds are different for everyone and it may take you longer to get any benefit from Paxil. I dunno. But your doctor could help you through it better. Therapy, etc. while *waiting* for the drug to kick in was a must for me.
Hang in there, good luck, :-)
Susan
