"in the sea of negative reviews which i read before starting paxil, i saw few positive ones even though i know that there are many, many people for whom this drug has worked wonders.  i am one of those people.  diagnosed with severe depression and generalized anxiety disorder, my doctor started me on 10mg/day and despite minor, minor nausea for the initial 2 weeks, i have not had side effects.  my anxiety and depression were vastly improved within that 2-4 week window and i began to feel like my old self.  i have experienced no discernible effects on my sex drive,  which is a big negative side effect for many reviewers.  this drug seems to have been tailor-made for me, i am thankful for its availability, and hope this review helps someone!"
