I was prescribed 10mg of Paxil last month an never took any b/c I was worried about effects I read about. I saw my doctor today and she almost laughed at me for being worried about it b/c my dose is so low! So to anyone here who has taken a similar doseage, did you experience any problems or side effects. Is it easier to stop taking at this level?

Very small dose. I had very few side effects or complaints at 30 or even 50mg. Changed my life for the better. Paxil is my all time fav SSRI for anxiety and depression!

I took it at 15 mg for quite a while. I'm very sensitive to meds, so it was enough to help me some without too much in the way of side effects. You could try taking it at that dose, then gradually increase if you feel OK.

I think I was at 50mg or higher but it made me super irritable and aggressive. I was picking fights w/people…I had to get off of it as soon as I started having those weird effects.

As a AD Paxil rocks. Works awesome for depression and anxiety. However I gained like 60lbs on it. �� I was on 30mg for 2 yrs.
