"this drug has been out there a long time, but it&#039;s tried and true.  i&#039;ve evened out my ups and downs and don&#039;t have as bad of temper as i did before starting paxil.  i&#039;ve taken it for 4 years on the advice of my gastro doctor.  my daughter says that she has really noticed a difference and i feel much better.  i just wish i had found it earlier in life.  no side effects unless i forget a dose and then i get a little achy."
