Absolutely BBS, and I am still on Paxil and have been for about 6 yrs, and it's saved my sanity. But, I am on the highest dose recommended and it's losing it's effectiveness for me, and I may have to replace it with another AD?

If I had known the truth about Paxil from the beginning, I may or may not have chosen to take it. I should have been given that choice and not hoodwinked into believing otherwise.

Actually I tried Prozac first, but it made my anxiety worse. It was like taking an upper.
