"i took paxil for nearly 9 months and it seemed to cure all my ailments. i didn&#039;t realize how many things were attributed to my anxiety including, chest pains, nausea, headaches, etc. i really felt great (after a week or so of insomnia which is a common side-effect). i recently stopped taking paxil since i was feeling so great. that is really tough. i had awful dizziness (but again this is to be expected) for about 10 days. several weeks later i am realizing i felt much better on paxil and am thinking of returning to it."
