I took Paxil for about 9 months. It helped, but I hated the side effects: 25 pound weight gain, zero sex drive and constant sweating. Getting off it was the most horrible thing in the world. Two weeks of feeling sick, dizzy, paranoid (I dreamed every night that my children were trying to kill me!), shaking, and even worse D than ever. I would never, ever take Paxil again. I was literally stuck in bed the whole time. However, I hate to discourage someone from taking something that might help them even though it was a bad experience for me. Just be sure you withdraw extra slowly if you do take it. Good luck! Dawn
