I can sleep at night, I don't fly off the handle at every little thing, an most of all I haven't had a panic attack since I started taking it. I a most lost my husband because of my picking, nagging and fighting over pe ty things. The only side effect I had was a medicinal taste in my mouth hen I first began taking Paxil. Keep in mind that my doctor also told me to go to stress management classes and a pshycologist to treat the under ying problems as well. We all suffer from PCOS, many of us have the sam problems, many of us don't. What a specific medication does to one pers n, may not be the same effect on another. Only you and your doctor can f nd the best medication for your needs. It's called trial and error, and t stinks but it truly is the only way. Christie
