I have been on 15Mg of Paxil and will be increasing tomorrow to 20MG been over 4 weeks now since I started the medication. It seems to be helping! But right now I can't tell what is part of my anxiety, and what might be meds! I have the following symptoms still almost everyday to some degree. Even though I feel calm!

Headache ( head pressure ) hard to concentrate
Unsettled stomach. Loud growling sounds. ( LOUD! )
Weak legs. Shaky hands
Sore shoulders, and neck
Hate to mention, but diarrhea !
I posted this before but haven't got any responses! ; (

I tried like eight different meds until I found our that worked they all cause citrin side effects. I lost 15 lbs when I first started taking them I was sick as shit, and don't mix them with alcohol that's worse you vomit!

I been off of them for a year getting used to them takes a good amount of time I would talk to your dr though sounds like you might wanna try a different one, I know they are in families I do best with Prestiq and Cembalta they are in the same family of drugs. I hope this gets better for you soon!

Calm down!! It's just anxiety!! Stop worrying about the pill you're taking!! Focus on being patient....relax. The life that you're relentlessly seeking, will come to you soon..

Thx. I will put both into consideration! I'm leaning towards it being anxiety. But could be 50/50 because I don't recall the headaches being an issue before the meds. I wonder if you do switch from one med to another... Do you have more side affects from dropping one and starting another? Hmmmm! Dunno!

Enduro. I'm not worried! I mean I don't think about it all day. I just can't tell the difference right now! I took Paxil about 10 years ago and I don't recall wha type of side effects it had, as it has been so long. Also I don't want to just pass everything off as anxiety just because I have anxiety! Like the boy who cried wolf... But ya I'm not stressing about it! Just wanted to know what others might think. ; p
Thank you!
