If you've taken Paxil before, what's your experience with it? My doctor is changing me from Zoloft to Paxil for things she thinks may be OCD.

I was on Paxil for a while, a long time ago. I was also on Prozac for a while around the same time. Neither one seemed to do much for me. (They did give a dry mouth as I recall.) But then, none of the antidepressants I've been on have really been of much help. I've been on Cymbalta for the past 2 years now. It's not great. But, for me, it's been about the best of the lot.
Thanks for this!

I was on Paxil... It did "work" but it's notoriously hard to wean off. If you have a good doctor, you should be ok.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
