Paroxetine - all the truth about famous Paxil/Seroxat

[Marvolo]

Hi people,

I've been thinking about taking paroxetine for my phobia in future maybe (now my anxiety seems to be quite lighter, as I've somewhere written, but it's an unpredictable phobia). It's thought to be an excellent cure for it. At least I've heard such opinions.

But I've also found some opinions of people who regret taking paroxetine due to enormous side effects during the withdrawal. That it's pretty hard to withdraw it and other horrible descriptions... :?:

I'm pretty confused now. What's the actual truth about paroxetine? Has any of you taken it and is satisfied of it? Haven't you had any withdrawal problems?

Is it a good cure? I've heard it changes one's personality. Is it true?

I would like to add, that I generally tolerate cures well - thinking by the expierience.

What would you advice me? :?: :?: :?:

Cheers!

No suggestions? :?: :?: :?:

Maybe venlafaxine is better solution?

First of all this isnt a cure. It's just to help you manage. I'm on paxil but have only been on it for 3-4 weeks. so far so good.

I think it's better to add the following choice to the poll:

OK, but it didn't help me.
