Wow, I was on Paxil too and got the "brain zaps". Those suck real bad and they got worse before better. I had to switch to Zoloft for a safer pregnancy.
Haven't had an "zaps" since, so I don't know if I would say it's every Anti-depressant. Mine is taken for anxiety. Glad to be off that horrible drug.
How they can even state that depression and anxiety are the same is crazy.
Stress bring's on anxiety and can be triggered from a stressful event in the past. I almost had the "panic attacks" kicked by relaxation/exercise, but I was to close to walking off a good job, that I went for the meds. instead.
I will never take Paxil again. I really don't think there's enough known about it.
Good going Juicy!!! Include good food and exercise into your life, keep stress far away!
