Side Effects for Paxil (paroxetine hydrochloride)
PAXIL (PAROXETINE HYDROCHLORIDE): Paroxetine is used to treat depression, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder. It works by helping to restore the balance of a certain natural substance (serotonin) in the brain. Paroxetine is known as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). This medication may improve your mood, sleep, appetite, and energy level and may help restore your interest in daily living. It may decrease fear, anxiety, unwanted thoughts, and the number of panic attacks. It may also reduce the urge to perform repeated tasks (compulsions such as hand-washing, counting, and checking) that interfere with daily living. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

I am scared to death to take anymore I feel as if I'm so depressed that everything is closing in on me
In the first three months: decreased appetite, increased sex drive, insomnia, panic attacks, increased energy, better mood, crazy dreams
overall, very satisfied. periods are 4 days, max. & extremely light flow. breakthrough bleeding first 2 weeks on pill, but regulated with second pack. skin oil increased. a little weight gain, nothing drastic. a little more emotional week of period.
Depression feeling of doom Panic attacks Anxiety stupid me read that if you stop taking this mess sudden death could occur dizzy spells peeing all the time red and puffy eyes chest tightness jittery feeling tired as hell but can't sleep this little pill is horrible
I also take anti-depressants, but they were not the reason for the loss of sex drive. I found it very frustrating, I'm young I should be enjoying sex, that's why we are on birth control right? I'm going back to ortho tri.
Weight gain, mild hair loss, not sure that it's doing it's job. The body heat problem has seemed to have been improved (not as hot as usual). This is making working hard due to the fatigue and tiredness.
I'm 30 weeks preggers so I was kinda scared when the white chunks were coming out. I was also trying to remember if it happened the first time I used it 3 years ago and I think it did. Icky smell pretty much cleared up on first day but will continue dosing per doc recommendations. Just hoping I don't get a yeast infection like some other ladies mentioned, I've never had one and it would suck.
I have had 3 surgeries within the past 2 years due to endomitriosis and ovarian cysts. They put me on Lupron which I loved. Took me off of it because of the bone loss...I work out 4 days a wk and eat healthy. Dr. decided that depo-provera...informed me of some side effects. I do not like this drug. I have felt like crape and wouldnt wish this on anyone.
Brilliant. Switched from microgyn30 as i was bleeding constantly. Now on Loestrin20 for 6weeks(no break) and only had two days of bleeding. My breasts are fuller but i've not gained weight. My cramps are easier to deal with but that may be as i'm also on mebeverine as a last resort pain treatment whilei wait for gyno referal-i suffer from terrible as yet unexplained pelvic/abdominal pain
I had to stop taking nasonex as it was difficult to work, ect. The nurse at my Dr.'s office thought I was using the spray wrong, but I'm pretty sure I wasn't.
