If you quit cold turkey, Paxil has withdrawal symptoms that are flu-like. Prozac doesn't have any withdrawal symptoms. That's why I switched.

You are considering taking Paxil or zoloft for anxiety which is better?
I have not tried Paxil but I know from experience with Lexapro, is that it works very well. Trying to come off of it is the challenge. I got extreme dizziness and nausea. Although, that lasted a few weeks then it surpassed and I'm back to normal. Lexapro worked great for me and I strongly recomment it.
Can Paxil be taken in early morning?
Most people do take the SSRI drugs in the morning. Paxil, Prozac, and Zoloft often have the side effect of making you more alert and wide-awake. People often have trouble sleeping if they take these drugs right before bed. However, it really does not matter, and if you have no troublesome side effects, you can take your Paxil whenever you wish.
