What was your mental health bfore going on paxil? It's true that some of these meds can harm/damage your brain, that's why we should be very careful w/ them. As far as whether paxil is causing your symptoms 2 yrs. Later, I don't know, schizophrenia or some other mental disorder is a possibility. You should seek different opinions (from different doctors); to tell the truth, some of them don't know what they're doing & give wrong diagnoses. You should also continue doing research (on schiz. Also & other disorders w/ your symptoms) & you will find the answer. Just b careful w/ those doctors!


I have had schizophrenia for about 20 yrs; but my mind didn't collapse till I was about 12 yrs.; i'm 23 now. (i was always abnormal but all my symptoms didn't really come out until I was 12) and I have:
hearing of voices that say evil things against me & god
i used to have hallucinations (not anymore) in my mind (visions of things)
some paranoia (thinking someone has done something to me & finding out they really haven't)
emotional instability (severe depression; unable to feel happy, angry, etc. In certain situations)
intense ongoing feelings of rejection; low self-esteem.
Severe depression

i'm so sorry for all that u went through.

Hope this helps/encourages you in some way.
