Question

got put on them for anxity and i all ready feel a difference in how i think, my mind dose not wonder like it used to. the side effects are still here i feel just sick also dont have as many cravings to smoke. im on cleplax (sorry i thin i spelt it wrong but is an SSIR) what happens in the long run? want to know other peoples experiences

Answer 1

I was put on paxil over 15yrs ago Paxil has it's good qualities except I have gained alot of weight I didn't notice any real changes for about 2 weeks also I take klonopin and I just started wellbutrin XL .......... So I guess to answer your question I haven't had any bad experinces with the meds the only thing is the weight gain and the low libdo which are common with paxil SSIR medications have came along way since I started paxil thats why I'm on the wellbutrin now I'll be weing off the paxil and staying on the klonopin all in all they saved my life  

Answer 2

I am on paxil, have been for years. I suffer from panic attacks and depression. I rarely have the attacks and not as depressed. It isn't

enough to turn me into a zombie, does help, but there are some side effects as I am too laid back, and often act happy and take too much when I should be somewhat upset. Not being as active puts weight on me easy.
