about 3 1/2 years and I was hot all the time. Paxil is very bad news by the way, and there are a number of Class Action Law Suits. I am on Lexapro, and have been for about 2 years, really like it because it takes care of Panic attacks and Claustrophobia.

Both Paxil and Effexor are a bitch to get off of as well. I used to get sparks (electric like sparks) from Paxil.

And on and on they go.

And to be clear Paxil is not the only SSRI drug that has ongoing lawsuits.
