"i first tried paxil in 2003, after trying everything and i do mean every antidepressant on the market. i couldn&#039;t believe in less than a week i was already feeling relief. my mistake: i kept going on and off of it. it eventually stopped helping. so for 3 years i went on celexa, which helped less than paxil but more than others. recently i began getting severe generalized anxiety dsorder along with my depression. i finally decided to give the paxil a try again since so much time had lapsed since i&#039;d been on it. well...it worked again. feeling better than i have in a long time. message: everybody is different so paxil won&#039;t work for all. but if it does you..stay on it. don&#039;t try the on and off thing. good luck!"
