I was prescribed Paxil CR 37.5mg Tablets for my social anxiety disorder, and while it has helped with my symptoms, I've been experiencing some side effects that have me worried. I'm curious to hear from others who have taken this medication. What side effects have you experienced, and how did you manage them? I've been dealing with excessive sweating and dizziness, which can be pretty disruptive. Are these common, or should I talk to my doctor about adjusting the dose? Also, I've read about the more serious side effects like seizures and serotonin syndrome. How likely are these, and what should I be looking out for? Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I'm glad to see others finding relief. I think Paxil CR has been a huge help for my premenstrual dysphoric disorder. I had some initial side effects too, but they mostly went away after a few weeks. Just make sure to stay in touch with your doctor and report any strange symptoms.

I've been on Paxil CR for a few months now, and the controlled-release format has been a game-changer for my panic attacks. Definitely talk to your doctor about the dizziness; it might be a sign to adjust the dose.

I switched from regular Paxil to Paxil CR and it has been a lot easier to manage my symptoms throughout the day. The gradual release of the medication has been a big help. Definitely worth talking to your doctor about if you're struggling.

Seriously, the dry mouth is awful. I keep a water bottle with me at all times now. It’s a small price to pay for the relief from my anxiety, but it’s still a hassle.

I experienced some pretty bad sleep disturbances in the beginning, but I managed to work around it. I knew to get back to my doctor if it did not get better, but after a few months it stopped on its own.
