There is some good information there, but it is obvious that most do not like Paxil at all. And many considered it harmful.

Paxil has been bypassed today in sales by Lexapro which is an SSRI.
But when the oldest SSRIs were put on the market, very little was understood
about them. Today, we still have conflicting theories on how they work, or if they work at all. (some studies have shown placebo as effective).

You can go on Rxlist.com and read the official copy of the drug insert. But it will not tell you what happens to real people, behavior-wise.

I myself had a spate of serious depression last winter, and I chose light therapy once a day and it worked.

L-tryptophan is now readily available. This taken at bedtime with some carbohydrate and B6, can help you make your own serotonin.
