"when i started paxil 7 months ago i was clinically depressed. i had panic attacks that would come several times a day and my body was always tense. i had obsessive compulsive disorder. i was wrecked after an emotional trauma. my brain was on overdrive. within the first 2 months on paxil i kept a journal blogging symptoms and changes and after a while i realized i stopped writing altogether. i would always write when i was sad. the medicine kept being more effective as time went on but i eventually got a dose upage from 20mg to 30mg. i have never felt so happy, ever."
