When you take meds for depression or any other mental health issue you have to be committed to taking them EVERYDAY at a certain time. They will mess you up if you dont.

Pros:

I took this for 5 years. Must have worked because I'm still here.

Cons:

Expense...was not in generic at the time.

I used this product for a short time and found that it made me break out in laughter for no apparent reason. It also made me feel like my mind was going a million miles an hour. I'm now on Zoloft 50 mg 1 in p.m. and am very happy with my results

Pros:

None

I am actually taking the 25 MG dose now.

Pros:

This medication has been working for me for years. I started on a lower dosage, but due to my husband's diagnosis of prostate cancer, the doctor increased the dosage.

Pros:

Is definitely good for depression. I use the generic Paroxetine of Paxil 20 MG 1x in the AM. Helps with anxiety as well. Helps with Serotonin levels. Does a good job.

Cons:

When taking this med for the first time, you will feel very tired right after taking it. That goes away after a month or so. And while getting off of it MUST by all means go slow. Do NOT stop cold turkey no matter what. Follow Dr.'s orders, and must be weaned off slowly.
