Paxil (paroxetine): Try not to fret. It will take at least 2 to 6 weeks once on Paxil (paroxetine) (at whatever is the right dose for you) for you appreciate the improvement. While your brain is adjusting the Paxil (paroxetine) could cause you to feel temporarily worse. Take care.

Check back with Dr.: Who prescribed Paxil (paroxetine) to discuss a change in medication and find a mental health professional to treat your depression and anxiety. Medication alone is not enough. Relaxation training with biofeedback (www.Bcia.Org or www.Aapb.Org) and cognitive therapy are very effective.
