I've been on Paroxetine for 2 weeks tomorrow, I suffer from very bad anxiety that stops me leaving the house, get dizzy and things if I leave the house, been on Paroxetine for almost 2 weeks, at the begging I had, sore heads, dry mouth and sickness, now that's all calmed down, I wouldn't say I felt more anxious, if anything I felt less anxious, and the past few days I've felt worse, feel anxious all the time, even just lying in bed watching telly, the doctor told me it should all calm down after 2 weeks, so no clue why I never felt more anxious at first and now I do, the doctor has spoke about putting my dose up as am only on 10mg at the moment, but because I feel more anxious I don't know if they're actually working, because if anything I feel worse feeling more anxious all the time, need to phone and speak to the doctor tomorrow, seriously no clue what to do😕, thought maybe I was getting better as the side effects where wearing off and I managed to go to the ice cream van outside my house without feeling a anxious, and that doesn't happen at All, but now the past few days, i feel anxious 24/7😣
I've been on Paroxetine for 8 years, and even if I up my dose is increased I feel the side effects for almost a month - good luck-
Really?, so if my dose gets up again I'll have all the side effects again?, do they work for you?
- well I doubled my dose so that's probably why I felt it so intensely - yes it works wonders for me!
If you don't mind me asking, how does it help you?, think am gonna phone the doctors tomorrow and let them put my dose up😊x
It just reduces my anxiety and helps with my thought ruminations - I just feel my normal self while taking it -
Hey, sorry for the late reply, I spoke to a doctor today, and I just told him about how I was feeling and he's decided to up my dose to see what happens... Said I shouldn't really suffer from side effects, because most people only get them at the beginning, so just to see how I do on them, and If they don't work he'll find something else, I hope they'll work, because I feel am running out of hope of getting better, also got a phone call today about speaking to someone so have that aswell on the 17th, so hoping I can overcome this😊
You will be able to- I upped mine and it's taken 3 mos, but I am starting to feel it work again 
your brain will level out and you will feel better
I do hope so😊😊, what dose are you on?
I am on 20mg now- it takes a while to feel better - usually my anxiety goes away first but my depression takes a little longer -
