> anyone i know that has been given Paxil to treat depression, has experienced some sort of tremors or shakes and said it really messed with their heads. i was diagnosed with epilepsy over 15 yrs ago(petit mal), and what was causing my seizures was a "short circuit" in my brain. i would get an overload of info and my brain would "freeze up" much like a computer. so essentially i was not receiving the messages i was sending which caused a great deal of anxiety. with an ssri like paxil i am able to get the messages and think more clearly. it seems reasonable to me that if you do not have problems with your neurotransmitters, you would get the opposite effect......just guessing....and could you tell me what the difference between paxil and paxil cr is? thank you....Rea
Paxil CR is controlled release. It was supposed to be easier to tolerate as far as side effects since it didn't hit your system all at once and dissolved (I think) in the intestine instead of in the stomach. The dosage was slightly different - my tabs were for 12.5 mg I think.Marsha
