Does anyone take Paroxetine? it's generic for paxil...?

Question

What's your experience with these med's, how long did it take to work and how did you feel before and after, if you did start feeling better...i'm on my third month and feel slightly indifferent at times. Sometimes I feel like i'm getting better and somedays I just complety fall backwards...thanx for your answers ahead of time...

Answer 1

Yes, it is generic. I switched to the generic kind over 3 years ago. I really can't tell you if I have felt a difference or not. It may be working better than Paxil, or it may just be because of time.  

Answer 2

I took it and I started feeling better within one week, but apparently that is diagnostic for bipolar disorder.  After about a year it stopped working and then I could not get off of it.  I tried 3 times to get off of it.  I got nausea, diarrhea and vomting.  I also had anxiety worse than before when I was getting off of  it.  They now call this "discontinuation syndrome"
