I went to my therapist yesterday finally complaining of the terrible sexual side effects from Paxil. I've been on it for geez almost 9 years now. It works really well as far as my anxiety goes, but man has it killed my sex drive. I've heard a lot ofgood things about Lexapro from a few friends. So, she wants to put me on that since it has less sexual side effects than Paxil. I'm only on 10mg of Paxil now. She said the withdrawal symptoms for some people are horrible. That kind of scared me, but I do remember going off it before without taking a new medication to counteract the withdrawal symptoms. The only withdrawals I got from going off of it were like an overall weird body feeling. Very hard to describe. Have any of you guys ever experienced bad withdrawals from going off Paxil? I guess I'm just kind of scared to try something new. Always afraid of change.lol I don't know why still. Been through so much stuff this past year. She said that Paxil is one of the anti-depressants that cause stomach problems, but I never experienced them. Anyone else?
