How long does it take in weeks for paroxetine to work on general anxiety, worrying about everything, many thoughts all the day, and/or shyness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Days to weeks: If anxiety is severe, affecting your general functioning, it is recommended you start low 5mg or go slow, increase the dose, by 5 mg every week, to favor tolerance and avoid initial re bounce anxiety. Response is gradual, almost immediate for general free floating anxiety. the woryness, negative thoughts will take longer(2-3 weeks) and the social phobia may take 233months, better with CBTtherapy
