"i was on this med for about 2 months.  during that time i started losing my hair and ended up losing quite a bit of it especially on the frontal part.  it did give me more energy but i also had a hard time keeping my anxiety in check.  i don&#039;t remember having the customary side effects and my body seemed to tolerate it quite well.  if it hadn&#039;t been for the hair loss and anxiety issues, i probably would have stayed on it.  i decided to go back on paxil again a couple of days ago because i really had few problems with that except for weight gain if i don&#039;t watch myself."
