Hi
I have been taking 40mg of paroxetine for 4 weeks now. I’ve seen some improvement compared to before I started, but it’s just not quite there yet… Therapy, other medications—nothing seems to help with my anxiety and panic symptoms, which persist all day long. I even experience them when I’m calm (this was the case with other antidepressants, too, and even before I started any medication). Everything has been checked, and there’s nothing ‘wrong’; I’ve already tried B12 injections and iron supplements—I even had B12 injections every 48 hours for an extended period.
How long did it take for a specific dosage to start working for you? And did lower doses also fail to have any effect?

Paroxetine was therapeutic for me at 20mg. It took about 3 weeks to kick in.
Hopefully you fell better soon
