In reply to Paxil Scares Me Sh**less, HELP!!!!, posted by tina on March 17, 2001, at 20:07:41
> Okay, I admit, I did a stupid thing. When I got my prescrip filled for Paxil I signed onto the net and researched it. Now, I'm freaking out. I've read the most horrific stories about it here on PB and on other sources and I stare at these little pills and can't bring myself to take them. They cost me $60 and I am too afraid to even try them.
> Please please tell me a GOOD story, a success story.
> I've read about serotonin syndrome with Paxil and Elavil(which I take now) and severe nausea(which I already have just about every day) and there are some who actually say "this drug should never be given to humans" and I read about a law suit in CA over Paxil side effects ruining someone's life.
> HELP ME
> I'm really scared of this stuff.
> TinaDon't worry Tina! It's not too bad. Most of the unspeakable Paxil adverse events are... well, let's put it this way: Statistically, you're much more likely to be killed in a car accident.
I took Paxil (LOTS OF PAXIL) for depression and OCD and the main problem I experienced was sweating... ok for me because I don't sweat very much naturally. I switched eventually, but only because I wasn't very effective.
