The drug made me much worse when I tried it(with some horrible side-effects) and in a lot of people led to feelings of extreme anxiety (which can happen with any stimulant drug) and unfortunately suicide. For the people who it has helped I hope, and am sure, that there are other drugs to help them and that they may be open minded and try alternative therapies too. I dont believe in a single pill cure and have found that hobbies,gym excercise,hemi-sync relaxation cds, diet, bioflow magnetic wristbands,Brain Gym, and REBT therapy has really helped me; a package of treatment. It will be wonderful one day if the magic pill is invented though!!!! Good luck to everyone, may you all find contentment. C

I tried Paroxetine for 5 days because I had slight depressions. I only took 10mg which is half of the recommended dosage. After 3 days I got panic attacs which I had never had in my life. I was at work and all the sudden I had the feeling I can't breath and my hard beat like it would burst. I was about to tell my co-workers to call the ambulance but after an hour of these panic attacs coming back like waves it was over. I called my doctor and he said that 10mg was probably too much for me so I took only half of a pill the next day. Same attacs a little lighter and I also continuosly had a dry throat and felt just weird and depressed. I am done with messing with my health. Pills like that might help people with strong depressions but for me they made it worse. I will try SJW because I have always thought that treating problems a natural way is the best. Also, I will get some counceling to figure out why I am depressed. It seems to be to easy to get these drugs in the US.

I think this was a wise decision.
