    Hi

    I took paroxatine for some time and it helped big time with the panic etc but coming off them was hell on earth!!

    That said everyone is different and I dont want to alarm you!!!

    Best Wishes

    Hello.

    I took paxil for years and it was "the wonder drug". Things went well for 8 years or so with it, no side effects, but best of all no panic! Unfortunately I have to agree that coming off of it was difficult.

    Best Of Luck,

    Mike

    Hi there -seroxat was my life saver for 7 years. I was fine on it, but it started to wear off. I decided to come off it as i no longer felt i needed it as it wasnt doing much anyway. Now sroxat is my hell on earth. I am in the process of coming off it. I was on 20mg and now i'm on 6mg and probably wont be off it for a good few months yet. the withdrawal feels like it is literally killing me at the moment!! I need to get off it as i want to start a family.

    Please seek better alternatives if you can.

    hi again

    please dont be scared by mails..seroxat is a quite an old ssri now and many docs dont issue it anymore as it has got withdrawel issues due to short shelf life...
    i would say if i had my time again..perhaps a different one...coz of the symptoms...if youve just started it i would go back to your doc and ask for a newer one...just purely as they are available to you xxxx

    Hi again

    Seriously, if you need medication then so be it. It does not make you a weak person. If it wasnt for wanting a baby i would still be on seroxat and wouldnt be any of the wiser regarding withdrawal. Seroxat worked for me and i liked it. Literally the only reason for coming off it os to have a bay. But i am sure there is a better drug that when you do want to come off it, it isnt as bad as seroxat is posing for me xx
