Answer 1

I've taken it for anxiety and I felt very shaky at first and couldn't sleep for the first couple of days so then I just stopped taking it.

Answer 2

I took Paxil about 3 years ago and had some sexual side effects (i.e. not wanting to) and also headaches--very bad ones at that, so my doctor switched me to Wellbutrin which I love!! Good Luck  :-)

Answer 3

Huge sexual side affects. I take 60 mg's a day and went from being horny all the time to not thinking about s*x at all.
