I started taking paxil cr about 4 weeks ago. I started out on 12.5mg for about 2 and a half weeks and then went up to 25mg. I have been feeling better with my social anxiety and depression, my general anxiety has gotten slightly better.

I was wondering what side effects anyone has experienced on this.


Some days I feel good other days I feel alright. Im no way near as tired as I was on xanax xr, but I do get tired earlier at night. I feel nervous still and in the beginning I had no appetite and now I feel hungry more often, have cravings (like sweets/salts), and just overall larger appetite. I may feel hungry (stomache growling), but I dont feel like eating. Is this normal? Ive also been experiencing a lot of vaginal discharge (globs of light yellow and clear/white). I am taking birth control pills and did have discharge from that, but now since I started paxil I have a lot more, where I wear a panie liner to keep my underwear from getting wet. I did get a urine test done and I dont have a uti or anything (at least when this started), but I am going next week for my yearly gyno exam and I am going to mention it to her. I seem to be more forgetful and "out of it" at times, and sometimes have a hard time focusing on one task. Ive been having some abdominal discomfort (had this since march), but there seems to be more since starting paxil. Some days I just feel totally weird. I know ive only been on it a short time and it takes 4 -6 weeks to take full effect, but I just dont like the way it makes me feel sometimes. Im going to try it a little longer and see what happens. If within a month or so I still dont feel right, im going to see about getting off it. Ive also been getting more headaches (always got headaches), but I seem to get them more often now. I know a lot is me just being paranoid and "looking" for symptoms and being more aware, im sure I had a lot of these before everything, but I just want to make sure everything is normal.


Has anyone ever experienced any of these symptoms?
What has anyone experienced while taking paxil cr and when did your side effects disappear?
