"I first tried Paxil immediate release, and the dry mouth I got from it was unbearable, so I had to stop taking it. My doctor switched me to Paxil CR, and I haven't experienced any side effects from the extended release version. It absolutely helps by keeping me out of a depressive episode. Paxil is really the only antidepressant that works for me, according to a DNA test I had done. Paxil CR has changed my life for the better."

"I have taken Paxil close to 6 years. If you want quick results, this pill is not it. It takes a while for it to kick in. Once you feel the benefits of Paxil, you will notice. The pros for me are higher than the cons (side effects). This week is my first week at 37.5 (Paxil ER). I took 30 mg for 3-4 years. I’m really excited to start this new dosage. It’s hard to find the right SSRI, I went through a few brands and dosages years ago. Will keep you guys updated on my 37.5 mg."

"Well, all I have to say is just try Paxil CR. My life has been changed. I am taking 25 mg, which I started from 12 mg. It is a great medicine. Now it's been 3 months, and I feel like I got my life back. Most importantly, don't forget your personal prayer."
