For Social Anxiety Disorder "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."

For Depression "I've been on Paxil CR for about 4 months now. I would highly recommend it. My doctor decided to put me on it immediately after my suicide attempt. Today I feel great, have stopped crying, and my suicidal thoughts are gone. Only bad side effect is my lack of interest in sex."

For Panic Disorder "Pros: I was suffering from anxiety attacks since the age of 16, and the frequency of these attacks and generalized anxiety and panic attacks are increasing with age. I have been on several medications, but none have worked for me as Paxil does. I started with 12.5 mg CR and then 25 mg after breakfast. It started working for me after 3 to 4 weeks. My panic attacks are gone, and after six months, I have my life back. I can go out with friends, I can drive on highways without any fear of having a panic attack. I feel like this disorder never occurred to me. I am very satisfied with this drug, and it restores my confidence, and I can enjoy my life normally. Cons: Delayed ejaculation, very low sex drive (25 mg), not with 12.5 mg, weight gain."
