4.5 weeks on paroxetine, it's not working yet :(

Could you make an immediate doctor's appointment or see someone right away if you feel like that?

It doesn't sound like the paroxetine is doing anything positive. Could you not go back on fluoxetine? I myself am still not settled on a med :(

I'm seeing my doc tomorrow. I contacted him today. Apparently he thinks paroxetine is doing something positive. I had suicidal thoughts when I got used to fluoxetine too, it was horrible. Nice to see you again Emphyrio so you're not on fluoxetine anymore either?

A little over six weeks now. Just feeling a little bit better. I'm so frustrated and bored. Please give me some encouragement, I'm so fed up :(

hi, I was on paroxatine for 15 yrs before it gradually stopped working as well, the main side effect i found was no sexual desire but that aside it helped with depression and anxiety fairly well. Im now on 45mg mirtazapine, diazapam and bisoprolol and not getting very far. All i would say is persevere as I was told by my doctors that sometimes it can take between 3 - 6 months to reach full effect with some meds. Stay positive.

Hi, after 8 weeks on paroxetine, my doc upped my dose from 20 mg to 30 mg, and I almost got better immediately. I'm doing good now. Hugs to you all
