Kelly Tried Paxil
For me, Paxil (paroxetine) worked at first but then the side effects kicked in. These were worse than the original depression and in some ways I felt worse than before. Paxil had unexpected sexual side effects I wasn't told about like the inability to orgasm when having sex and that it causes insomnia in some people. I did not enjoy Paxil. There are so many prescription antidepressants now and they all have different side effects. I stopped taking Paxil abruptly after about seven weeks. All of a sudden, my life turned upside down. Things got worse than ever. I didn't know back then that you're supposed to slowly wean off this drug to prevent the withdrawal symptoms. Deep enough into withdrawal from Paxil I sumbled across St. John's Wort which has been a life safer. I like that it's a natural herb derived from a flower and it's just as effective as many prescription antidepressants with fewer side effects that are easier to live with. In 1996 there wasn't much information about it so I started this website and found an audience and have had many millions of visitors!
