"after 10 years on citalopram working brilliantly, it &#039;pooped&#039; out on me. i was put on sertraline which made me 100 times worse and i felt like i was losing my mind. there were times when i was suicidal which never happened before. after 18 months of trying different medications i decided to try paxil. i was nervous to be honest but i wanted to feel better than what i was. i have anxiety, depression which led to my ocd, mainly intrusive thoughts which were very distressing. i must say that after 2 weeks i have felt better than what i had done in ages. still not 100% but it is early days. i know everyone reacts differently to medications but do not be put off by negative reviews, this might be the drug for you. i am so glad that i tried it."
