I have been perscribed paxil by doc. I have always had a prob. with shyness;but had come to learn to live with it over the years,parties etc have always been a major strain for me as with meeting people.My doc. says paxil will help me so I thought I,d give it a try.I did research and to my dismay found that it seems to have bad sides --weight gain,dopehead feelings,lack of libido. The medical sites say that this happens in +- 2% of cases;but all I,ve heard on the anabolic boards is bad reports. I cycle 3 months on and 3 months off (gear)and really like it; if helping my problem meant giving up gear,then i reckon i would carry on as is.Are the paxil sides really that bad?and could i carry on with my cycles and use paxil? I would appreciate some assistance,as i am at a loss,with all the contradictionary reports. Many thanks.
