I was prescribed Paxil 25mg for anxiety/depression,I haven't been taking it because I think the dose is too high for a first timer...I'm just wondering if anyone has ever got a 25 mg dose for their first time....

    My first dose was 50mg of sertraline(Zoloft). I had a rough few weeks but then started improving. I was then put up to 100mg. I still have bad moments but I am much much better. Talk to your doctor but if they’ve started you on that dose it’s worth sticking with it.
