I started my relationship with Paxil just over 6 months ago and this past week I've felt as terrible as I did before I started (poor self-image, overly sensitive to what is said or done around me, etc). I was wondering if anyone else here has had this experience with Paxil and what resolved the matter. Just for the record, I'm on a very low dosage as I'm a petite person.
Thanks

Re: Anyone have a similar experience with Paxil?
Tue, November 20, 2007 - 5:18 PMFrom what I know (having taken many different SSRI and learning as much as possible about them all) is that what you are experiancing can happen with SSRI's Often the dosage needs to be increased and/or a second anti-depressant may be added. Common practice these days are that medical professionals are no longer just using mono-therapy; in your case Paxil by itself. Another problem may be that you have plateaued at your current dose. This too is common for many and dosages need to be reviewed with you and your physician.
I hope this helps somewhat.
