Short term Paxil use

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi. I have been recommended to use paxil 20mg for my anxiety by a psychiatrist. I have some lichen planus on private parts so this makes me so depressed. I really don't know should i use it or not? I am really planning to take it for a while for 2 months. But side effects scares me. Especially sexual side effects. Guys what do you think. Which side effects could appear? Should i use it? My anxiety makes me so bad.

    How bad is your anxiety ? If it's really bad meds will probably help alot. I was on paxil for 10 years and I don't have a moment of regret right now in taking it.

    However that being said I started taking it because I really needed it.

    My anxiety was so bad that I could not leave the place where I lived from fear.

    Every person is different. Before starting pills would it be possible to try a non medication therapy? If there is a psychologist who you can talk to that would be great, i'd imagen they would help.
