35th Paxil Update - Feeling Good

August 18, 2026··

Posted in:Paxil (Paroxetine)Success Stories

Feeling good. Been having bouts of fatigue and gi upset. I also felt a little down today but I think it was because the ultrasound on my legs I had done today still showed blood clots even though I have been taking blood thinners for a year. I don't see my blood doctor until October, I needed this test done before September. I know the Lord is in control of the situation and I will just keep moving forward with the positive things I am doing to get healthier.
