Hello - I took Paxil from 2-14-00 until 4 weeks ago. I had all the bad side effects but took it anyway because it helped enough to outweigh the bad. My husband has taken it 3+ years with no bad side effects. I found that after 3 weeks the side effects lessened, but for me they never left (shaking, hyper, sexual dysfunction). My mother took Serzone and I will try that next time I need something. A great book to help you learn about the different antidepressants is called the Feeling Good Handbook by David D. Burns, MD. I got it at Barnes and Noble. Hope that helps!! Lisa R. >
