For Depression "I have been taking this medication with a few others for 6 years. It’s by far the best one I’ve tried. This with Vyvanse helps control my PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I read so many bad reviews about this. I was terrified. But it’s been a godsend. I take 25 mgs of the CR, and I have my life back. It’s the best antidepressant I’ve tried. I remember being really tired for the first week. But that goes away. Side effects are like non-existent compared to some others."

For Generalized Anxiety Disorder "I was prescribed Paxil CR 12.5 for GAD, which was mostly situational. I cannot tell you how awful of an experience it was for me. My anxiety went through the roof to the point I didn't want to leave home, which is not like me at all. I became very depressed, which I wasn't to start out with. Crying uncontrollably. Pacing and restless, could NOT sit still. Went from 140 pounds to 124 in 3 weeks. No appetite, intrusive/racing/all negative thoughts, couldn't sleep for more than an hour or two at a time, paranoid, confused, no concentration, no motivation, sweating, constant diarrhea, jaw clenching, stomach pains, body aches, dry mouth, yawning, and dizziness. After 25 days on this med, my doctor pulled the plug because I was better before it."

For Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder "12.5 mg for 2 months, and it really makes a difference. I was tired at first, but it seems I've settled in just fine."
