Paxil and sexual sides

[ManOfArms]

Paxil is also not a short term drug.. it usually takes 3 month or so for all the sides to disapate. However, since everyone reacts differently, with time, all sides will disapate sooner or later..

I've been on Paxil for over a year now, and experience no sides whats so ever....

"I've experienced no sides" etc hahaha
Wait until you try and come off, it is withdrawal worse than heroin. TAPER TAPER TAPER NO COLD TURKEY

Also.. i don't think skipping a dose will help you get it up the next day. Paxil builds up in your system. There is no way its going to be out of your system in 1 day so you can get a hard on. Paxil takes weeks to clear out of your system after you stop usage.

According to my shrink, Paxil will continue to effect the reuptake of serotonin for up to three weeks after cessation, but many of the sides, including a lack of vaso constriction (or something like that, whatever it is that makes your dick hard) disapate within 24 hours, depending on the size of your dosage. Cutting back the night before definitely does work for me.

6 years? why so long, if you dont mind me asking that is.. I'm currently on Paxil, 30mg each morning, sides basically went away two months after starting..

Before I went on Paxil, I was hospitalized for depression. Tried four other anti-depressants before I found one that worked: Paxil. Frankly, I hate the idea that I have to take psychotropic drugs just to feel like a normal human being, but the fact of the matter is that when I have tried to taper off very gradually, my depression returned. It's a physiological thing for me, not situational, so it's likely that I'll be on for the rest of my life.

I was on Paxil for a little under a year. I was on it for anxiety and depression. All the anti-depressants I was on (paxil being the worst) caused me to gain weight. Not good weight either, we're talking working out hard 6 days a week and still trying to fight off "love-handles" But of course I was all natural, no juice (still am).

It helped anxiety but getting fat didn't help the depression. It had a bunch of other side-effects. My libido was GONE. The thought of sex was actually a turn-off. It also numbed my feelings, I didn't care about shit, nor did ever really feel "happy" ...just blah.

I'm now off all prescribed AD's and found GHB to be the best and only real Anti-depressant. It improved my sleep, work-outs and especially my libido. It also KILLS my anxiety with still allowing me to still feel all my emotions. Not to mention I lost the spare tire that paxil put on my waste.

This isn't exactly going to happen to everyone, but most of the people I talk to have more problems with it than without. Anyways, it helps some I wish you the best of luck bro.

ManOfArms,

Where do you live? In the US they have demonized GHB and the DEA had scheduled it class 1. Meaning it has the tightest enforcement. I hate the DEA. Before trying it (if you haven't already) please do some research... a good site that is unbaised with unskewed info: http://www.ceri.com/ghbpage.shtml

Check it. Best of luck.

I took Paxil for 2 months, and I didn't want to fuck anyone. It crept up on me too... I just kinda noticed being VERY horny when I came off, and then I realized my libido had been non-existant for 2 months on paxil.
