6th Paxil Update - Feeling Good

October 1, 2026··

Posted in:Paxil (Paroxetine)Success Stories

One of my chronic symptoms from these meds is sinus infections. On paxil, I always have a low-grade infection. Now that I'm SLOWLY tapering, they seem to be getting more intense. Mid-September, I got one so bad my throat just burned and I could not swallow. This week my voice has been distorted from so much congestion. Emotionally, I'm feeling good. I think this forum has lifted my spirits. Being so sick and home bound for so long I don't' have a strong social network. People don't understand chronic illness unless they've been there---or ARE there. Other physical stuff: dizziness, fatigue, emotional blunting, flu-like symptoms, muscle aches, visual disturbances, and tinnitus.

Dose (mg)

Mood (/10)

atypical in presentation of side effects, super sensitive to small doses and general delayed responder. never took a psych med that didn't' make me sick immediately with infections and restless legs. have never been able to tolerate being on them, but have never had support to get off so I've been bouncing back and forth. i don't like capital letters. sorry.
