Hi Socarp1,

I took 20mg paroxetine for 2 years and it did nothing until the last 6 months when a psychiatrist recommended graduated doses up to 60 mg - even then the effects wore off very quickly but then not many rugs I have tries have had any to no effect. The only thing I can suggest is try what they recommend and if you see no difference within 3 months address it again. All of us are unique and have very unique history, needs and effectiveness of prescriptions.

All the best
