In reply to Paroxetine Vs. Nardil - your experiences, posted by Diego11 on October 19, 2012, at 14:40:38
I''ve never tried nardil. I was on paxil for a year. Paxil in literature is good for GAD/social phobia, and in my experience that was true. Mileage varies so there is no way to predict. But why it was true matters. I think it does what it does by the strong numbing effect it has, the emotional blunting common to ssris. Paxil is especially good at that. it took about 8 weeks for that to really take hold, and prior to that all my symptoms were actually worse for a while.
I do not like the common strategy of prescribing ssris as montherapy. While most would view it as optional, I view it as mandatory, that an ssri must be accompanied in some ratio with a norepinephrine med. imo
