I am still taking the Paxil, I wanted to ask Vickers and everyone how they felt at first, I took this 4 years ago and it was different. The main problem is the constant nausea and stomach pain, I have no appetite and my stomach seems to burn up top and cramp on the bottom, all I have been eating is toast, dry noodles, and lots of milk and water, when this happens it makes me very anxious, I can take the sweating and headachy feeling, but this stomach thing is really bad, I feel very weak from not eating, I do not know if its nerves about my son having strep throat or my husbands new job or the Paxil, I SO want to feel better and do not want to stop it, when I do eat my tummy just "gurgles and gurgles" you can hear it across the room its embarssing, I feel achy, like I have a virus or flu and very tired, has anyone ever experienced this with Paxil?? I hope this goes away it makes it hard to continue, the anxiety seems better today {thank you all for your prayers} the depression is pretty bad through but I am fighting it, I may go back to Zoloft if this continues, Zoloft was good for my depression bad for anxiety and Paxil seems to be better for anxiety but increasing my depression, does that make sense?? I wish I could combine both of their good properties, we have a hurricane coming Friday in Florida, and the strange thing is I am NOT scared, the panic, pain and depression have been so bad I feel like I looked the devil in the eye or something, everyone else is scared, I am more scared of the way I feel, I want so much for the side effects to ease and some relief, I am trying to help the meds along by trying to be positive. God bless everyone, Debbie.
