What is anyone's experience with Paxil? Was it helpful? Side effects?

    me too
    I use a low dose of Paxil to help with my lymphedema pain as it has properties that are useful for this and I do not have any negative side effects.

    I was using Paxil for
    I was using Paxil for anxiety before I was dx'd. I liked it. I didn't gain any weight, and I felt it helped. I am on Tamoxifen now, so I need to use Effexor instead. I was disappointed when I learned that.

    Good here
    I took it for several years too for anxiety attacks and some depression. It work well for me and no SE's I am on Tamoxifen now so my Onc. switched me to Celaxa. I have done fine with it also. God Bless
