Paxil works on depression in the beginning but wains. I even started to develop anxiety problems late in the course of taking this med.
The weight gain is a constant. If you are one of the unfortunate people who suffer from withdrawal from this 'nonaddictive' medicine, you're in for some real hell. It can be near impossible to stop, even when weaning off. I missed two days and had to lay flat. If I even sat up, the room spun, I puked. Standing wasn't an option. I wouldn't wish that year of trying to switch to another medicine on anyone. Even cutting the dosage down and spacing them out was hard to do. You may not crave the medicine like you do in a heroin addiction, but you need the Paxil to keep from getting really sick.
