I've been on Zoloft, Paxil and Remeran (sp?) and it wasn't nice. Sure, they helped my social anxiety, but that was all. On Zoloft I ended up at emerg with anxiety attacks until they upped the dose. Then they changed me to Paxil for a couple years. I got addicted to it and had to wean myself off. Sure, no tum problems, I was just a drug addict! The weaning off was horrendous. I was really really sick. I was on 40mg 2 times a day. I looked like a cocaine addict. Shakes, stupor, didn't eat, sick all the time. NASTY!! Got off of it 8 years ago, just before I met my DH. In 2002 I had an ectopic pregnancy and after all of that hormonal rollercoaster I was put on Remeron until my hormones settled down. EVEN NASTIER!! I was nearly in catatonic state from 1/2 a dose. The dr who saw me at the walk-in said I could have gone into a coma if I had taken a whole dose.
Personally, I'm really happy if the Paxil helps you but I am staying far away for SSRI's.
