While I have not taken Paxil on juice, I have taken other SSRI antideppressants and have have no problems. If anxiety is an issue, you might get a bit amped up on juice and have difficulty sleeping, depending on what you take, but Paxil won't have anything to do with this.

Studies say that some medications like Paxil can cause you to lose motivation for your daily activities and give you a decrease in sexual desire. The juice should take care of the sexual desire problems, just be sure that you do not start losing your drive and get lazy with lifting. The advantages are far greater than the disadvantages with Paxil. Besides who wants stress that causes coritsol levels to rise and kill your gains. If Paxil works for you then stay with it it should help not hurt you.

Been on Paxil for about a month now,(20mg) and I have never felt better in my life. Not currently on a cycle, finished one right before the summer . Sexually, for the first two weeks I couldn't ejaculate. Not that I didn't have fun trying. Was horny constantly, guess because my body never actually finished. That went away. I had some sleep disturbances, tossing and turning, not too bad, but a little annoying. Overall, has helped me tremendously with anxiety/temperment. No longer constantly irritable.

I was on Paxil for about a year and a half and it really messed with me. Try L-Tyrosine first or Saint Johnswart instead. Hell in Germany Paxil, Zoloft and all other MAO inhibitors have been banned by there version of the FDA.

I've been on Paxil for about 6 months. The only negative effect I have is it seems to screw up my short term memory. Anybody else experience the same thing?

I can't remember.....kidding.

I was having some pretty bad personal problems and my doc gave me a 'script for it. I had a little trouble sleeping but that was it. I'd say give it a try.

I'm on paxil now. Started about a week ago. Experiencing loss in apetite and decreased sexual desire. I think I might have lost a little bit of weight.
Wodin, what kind of problems did you have?
