Hey michaela, Man, I REALLY don't want to discourage you, but I STRONGLY recommend staying away from paxil! If you go down a few posts from the "Setbacks" menu, I have a post there about my experience with paxil. Right now I'm going through a "Living Hell" with withdrawal symptoms. I too felt better when I began taking it ( maybe just a pyschological crutch?), but I'm paying dearly for it now! Now I'm no MD and don't work int the medical field, so I can't say what is right or wrong for you, but type in "Paxil Withdrawals" in any Search Engine on the internet and do some serious research. We are all looking for that "Miracle Cure", but I don't think you'll find it with Paxil. Just my $.02 worth. If you would like to, you may e-mail me jjmosher@yahoo.com. I hope this doesn't discourage you, But I hope it may help keep you from going through what I am right now. :(
