I asked my doctor about this one and she said that I should be taking it for about a year.

I sometimes suffer from Panic Disorder if you guys ever her of it or anxiety disorder. I have been taking Paxil for about 6 months now and im wondering how long actually I have to take it? I hope it is not for my lifetime....

Some of my friends take it and they've taken it for a year. After they got off it the depression was gone. Only thing is the strong sexual side effects and the drowsiness. Besides that everything else was cool. Yet there are some better medications than paxil out there especially for anxiety. Paxil is 95% for depression. Im suprised your doctor didnt purscribe a better one for your symptom.

i used to work at a pharmany, i thought paxil was for those losers with social anxiety disorder. ;)

it depends , for most people drugs do help them , for others it doesn't , Paxil works great but there might be some sexual side effect (in the beginning only) , NOTHING TO WORRY AT ALL (you're less hornier than usual haha)

As long as your doctor tells you to. The problem a lot of people have is the medicine is working, so they no longer feel anxious or depressed, decide there cured and stop using it. Then they go back into the depresion cycle.
