HI, Dusty,
Yes, I have been on Paxil for several years now; prior to that Prozac since 1992.
I had suffered throughout my entire life, since childhood from depression and anxiety. The medication was a Godsend to me.
Last summer, however, since I was so happy and doing so well, my physician suggested reducing the Paxil. The result was increased anxiety and depression. Since then, he has upped my dosage back to the orignal amt, which didn't work for me, to now taking 40 mg. daily. It finally seems to be working for me again.
There is no reason to live with depression and anxiety if the medication helps you. I am finally feeling optimistic and strong again.
