"before i was on paxil,i just felt sad all the time. i felt like crying a lot,i could hardly get through work, i had a loss of interest in activities, i lacked energy, plus most of the other symptoms for major depression (except for thoughts of suicide), i had..and this went on for almost a few years until i finally had enough and sought out the help of a doctor. the doctor prescribed paxil 20mg once a day, and i swear i have never felt better in my life. i feel like i finally have my life back, and i don&#039;t feel sad all the time. most importantly,i feel like myself again"
