"i&#039;ve been on paroxetine for around 5 months due to extreme social anxiety, panic attacks and mild depression. the first few days i had strong heart palpitations and dizziness, and for the first two weeks was completely anxiety free but still very dizzy and constantly felt like i was going to pass out.

after the first month everything settled down and i feel great, very minimal anxiety and im significantly happier.

the only downside to this medication for me is that if i miss a dose i will know because i become angry and my hands will shake. 

i still absolutely love what it has done for me, and the side affects are well worth it."
