"i took paroxetine (paxil) for 2 months.  it took a while to feel any effect from it. it did help regulate my moods a little bit, but after a month and a half it started giving me stomach pains and feelings of hopelessness and suicide.  i am still experiencing the effects of not taking it anymore. it&#039;s been about a week since i quit.  i was going to taper the dosage but it just made me too sick.  i am sure this medicine is great for others but my body just did not agree with it."
