> i took paxil for a year and i thought it helped at first but it good effects seemed to fade and i felt like i did b4 i started on it. also, the withdrawels are tremendouse when you try to stop. they lasted almost a month for me. i felt like someone hooked up a 220 vold cord to my brain and was sending surges through my body. it was hell. i'm now on effexor XR for anxiety disorder and i love this drug. i feel totally functional again. just a suggestion.
johne, i'm having one heck of a time getting off of paxil. I was very strong and determined until today to get off of this drug. How did you withdrawal? Cold turkey or taper? Why do you feel Effexor XR is different. I know absolutely nothing about all of these drugs but at this point I'm ready to try something to help me get off of it. I can't get down past 15mg after being on 20mg.
