Hi there, I really hope that you get this message. The fact is that Paxil 20 mg. is, as you probably know, not CR, not time released. I tried the generic 20mg. and fell into a depression worse than any I'd had. I don't take paxil for depression, rather for my pure ocd. If you need to increase the paxil from the 12.5 mg, go to the 25mg CR. I am speaking from experience. Use the name brand. I also find that the generic Wellbutrin is not the same as the name brand. If paxil CR worked for you once, it will probably work for you again. You will know if the dose (at 25mg) is too high if you seem to have more anxiety. For me, name brand Paxil CR is a great drug. Try it again. Joni
