In reply to who here takes paxcil cr, posted by suebird on January 18, 2004, at 8:55:38
I have been on 50mg of Paxil CR for over two years now. I have found that the CR is very helpful- when I was on the regular Paxil I could feel when it started to wear off. The CR also seemed to ease me into things- like when I had the prescript upped from 12.5 to 25... the CR took the edge off and it was a nice transition.
I think you will being to feel the effects within 10 days- gradually. One thing that seems to help when you transition into Paxil is to get enough sleep and to try and go to sleep at the same time every night. This way the sleepy effects that some get from it don't affect your daytime hours.
Also, try and be good to your stomach during this time, this also seemed to help the Paxil effects at the beginning.
I hope this helps!
> ive been on lexapro for 7 weeks and it did not totally get rid of the panic attacks when the dr up the meds to 20mgs got really bad so she decided to put me back on paxcil cr i was on it before and it took awhile but it did work so tonight is the last dose of lexapro 10mgs im also taking 12.5 of paxil with it and monday night i start 25.5 mgs of just paxil cr does anyone think i will feel better soon since ive been on lexapro for 7 weks or is it going to take just as long. i really want to get my life back and stop feeling like its not worth living.
