"been on paxil for 17 years, started with 10 mg, stayed with that dosage for about 10 years. loved it in the beginning, slept great and mood improved a bunch.



eventually i went to 20 mg. it&#039;s worked okay over the years. i noticed some improvement with the increase, but never really significant.the transition from 10 to 20 was seamless.



over the years i have tried to switch to other ssris as it seems the paxil just wasn&#039;t doing it anymore. but none have made me sleep better than paxil, so i always go back.



after a miserable attempt with celexa, i&#039;m now trying 30 mg of paxil. i never thought my dose would get so high. i&#039;m on day 4, and other than a constant headache, i feel no changes. hoping my mood and outlook improves one of these days."
