I have had good progress with paxil! I am starting to ha e "Break through" anxiety, which has been pretty bad for the past couple months but I have been on it for 7 or 8 years. I am not sure if it " pooping out" or if it needs another med to lift it up again. I do go see my Pdoc tomorrow so I will know more then. It took about 2 weeks for it to fully work for me, but everyone is different. I know that some meds can take 2 to 8 weeks to work. I hope that this med can work for you like it has me. Word of caution though it can be hard to come off of no matter the time you have been on it, do to its short life so taper never go cold turkey. Hope this has helped.
