"i have been on paxil now for about 10 years. my dosage was 20 milligrams for a long time. within the last two months i was feeling emotionless. i finally went to my doctor today and described my feelings to her. she changed my dosage to 40 milligrams. i feel better already! if it wasn&#039;t for paxil i would be a basket case like i was before i went on it. i no longer have panic attacks and very little anxiety now. for those who are having a bad experience with paxil...don&#039;t give up. you may need a different dosage or an entirely different antidepressant. mental fragility is nothing to take lightly. keep asking for help until you get it. good luck to all of you."
