anxiety and stress
"Works great to keep me from being anxious. I take 40 mg daily for last 5 yrs.  The only thing I don't like is the weight gain and I need lots of sleep. My leg also jerks when I sleep.  Until I read the reviews I didn't think about Paxil causing it. It also keeps me from getting really angry easily. If I miss doses my family knows it immediately because I get very emotional, weepy or angry."
