Depression
"Thanx to Paxil I&#039;m still here to type this comment, it saved my life. I was started on 20mg but had to go up to 40mg (max dose) for about 3 years after which I was slowly dropped down to 20mg, then right down to 10mg, which I was on for awhile then down to 5mg and eventually went off the medication. The times I did miss my dosage it was usually the second day when the zaps started along with the feeling of vertigo. The half life of this medicine is very short about 3 days that&#039;s why people feel withdrawal symptoms so quickly but I&#039;ve found quite tolerable for the good it has done for me. A wonderful medication!"
