I take 40 mg a day. I've tried about 8 to 10 different ADs over the past few years or so...and couldn't tolerate any of them besides Prozac and Lexapro. Lexapro didn't do anything for me though. And I was convinced it increased my C...but I think I was blaming the Lexapro and that it was just my stupid C staying the same.
I would warn you agains Paxil if you only plan on being on an AD for a short time. Paxil is one of the hardest ADs to come off of. Everyone I know, including myself, who has stopped the Paxil has had a nightmare coming off of it.
Good luck. Unfortunately, you might have to try a few before you find one that works and that your body tolerates without nasty side effects.
