Paxil was the first med I ever took. It did work fairly well but really didn't kick in until about 12 weeks. Up until then it was pretty rough going for me. It kicked in very slow and subtle. No dramatic changes. They happened gradually over weeks in a way that was not noticeable day to day. When it did kick in, it did not bring me back to the person I was, but instead left me kind of emotionally numb to the world. Not depressed, but not alive either. It was nice at the time though to not be depressed any more.

Overall I think Paxil is actually one of the better ones. It is just that its sexual side effects, its weight gain, and its withdrawals I think kind of keep more people from using it.
