Day Seventeen

Here’s a common criticism I hear about Paxil: “Sure, it helped even me out, but does it have to shut down all emotions?”

Well, I am not finding this to be the case. I can confidently say that I am feeling some positive effects of the drug, but the side effects haven’t really been that bad. For instance, I just had to put my dog to sleep. She was old and it was expected (maybe even overdue), but I was still able to get plenty upset.

I’ve also noticed that my sexual side effects have been very understated after the first two weeks. I’m on a low dose (10 mg of Paroxetine), so maybe that plays a part. I’m still walking down the same grocery store aisle a couple times if there is a hot girl to be found and I am still having at myself when I get home. Like I said before– I last a little longer, but this is not always a bad thing.

There are plenty of cases where people haven’t been so fortunate, but Paxil seems to be the right drug for me so far.
