"Shortly after I started Paxil-one to two weeks-I was a totally changed person. I felt so upbeat, could speak without any inhibition to any person or situation. I felt lightened and brightened... better than I can ever remember!! Then I developed the complication of several episodes of a really strong, accelerated heart rate that felt like my heart was going to fly up and out of my throat. My doctor, of course, took me off of it. I still yearn to try it again and see if I might have an improved outcome. I wish I knew the likelihood of being successful a second time. It improved my work, personal, and any other social situation I can think of!!!"

"Definitely, this drug works magic provided you want to change yourself. With this drug, everything is possible. My brain chemistry was completely supported by this drug, and I was taken out of depression, fear, and social anxiety. I stayed on it for only two months. Another extra help this drug has given me is that I tried so hard to quit nicotine addiction but couldn't quit for three over the month. But after fifteen days of using the drug, I said goodbye to the old habit of nicotine. Today, it has been five months since I quit nicotine. This medicine will work for you if you hope for better. The third work, which was very surprising, was that the doctor said to take 25 mg, but by mistake, 12.5 mg was given, which was very amazing."

"After taking this medicine for only the second month now. I am feeling on cloud nine. I had psychosexual generated erectile dysfunction. I used to discharge only within 10 seconds to 30 seconds before taking Paxil CR 12.5, now 25 mg. Now I can have sex. I am now in the driver's seat of the intercourse journey with controlled erection up to 30 minutes. Now I have the confidence to please my lady."

"I am 29 years old. I am taking Paxil CR. For the six years before taking Paxil, I tried citalopram and escitalopram, but they didn’t work for me. So then my doctor advised me to start on Paxil CR. It changed my life. My depression and anxiety are gone after one week, and I have become a new person. But I have a bit of a problem whenever I have something stressful, like an exam, interviews, or any other related situation. Then I become so pressurized and stressed, but this is the only problem now, and all my other anxiety problems are eliminated now."

"I have started taking Paxil CR 12.5 mg six months ago, for my stuttering and fear of talking. In the beginning, I felt slightly down and kind of panicky, but after one week, those bad feelings went away completely. It has helped me a lot. I can say that my stuttering has improved. I am 80% fluent most of the time, and even if I stutter, I don't care that much anymore. I also feel closer to people and more confident in general. I feel happier also and lost 4 kg due to the appetite loss and feeling full earlier. Sex drive has decreased a bit, but it does not interfere in my relationship. Some days I get bursts of anger over small things. It has also cured my insomnia. Sometimes I feel dizzy, but it is not bad and goes away fast."
