In reply to Paxil -- how long does this last?, posted by audrey on November 11, 2001, at 18:41:27

I've been taking Paxil 10mg for a week, and tomorrow I start taking 20mg. Hopefully I won't experience anything worse than my original symptoms after the dose increase, but it's possible. I can remember that Prozac and Wellbutrin made my anxiety and OCD worse. Zoloft did a little in the beginning as well, but it wasn't bothersome enough to warrent discontinuation. If Paxil aggravates my condition tomorrow or soon afterwards, I'll probably give myself 1-2 weeks to adjust; you might consider giving yourself more time to adjust too. If the added nervousness is a side-effect it should subside in a matter of days to a week. Try really hard to distract yourself, and keep to your daily routine - like I will if anything happens. Listen to music; call a friend; play a computer game; exercise. Best of luck to both of us, right!
