" I am and have been on 60 mg of Paxil vs. Paxil CR. It could be the CR isn't for you, as I tried Ambien CR and it didn't work for me, so I was switched back to regular Ambien. "

" you need to give them a good 4-6 weeks before they take effect,unfortunatly you have to put up with feeling crap for weeks but you will feel better after a few weeks, be patient and give it time there is a light at the end of the tunnel, if after few weeks 4-6 u dont feel better go to the doctors and change them, i felt really drowsy and tired alot until i got used to them "

" I take Paxil and I believe it's the generic form. I take 15 mg's and yes at first it can make you feel like your going backwards. But stick with it if you can for a good 4-6 weeks, that's when you'll notice if it's truly working for you or not, in my opinion.

Good luck :) "
