I've been on and off paxil for years and tried just about everything else.Its the only one that really works for me although i need to adjust the dose up and down depending on how i'm feeling. When coming off it withdrawals are stopped by taking prozac for a couple of days so dont worry about that. I dont have any sexual problems so good luck with it.
