just starting aropax tomorrow morning a bit scared only 1/2 a tablet to get me through my high school certificate (HSC to the aussies such as myself)

is it good for anxiety, like just taking the edge off not making me a zombie that cant feel, im just using it to help me cope and be calm enough to use the calming methods from my psychologist

All people have different reactions, some feel more stable and calm. Im one of those that could not take it, I was off it after 2 weeks.

Aropax Paroxetine can take 4 weeks to work before it helps with depression or anxiety.

On my second day of Paroxetine, taking 10mg a day for a week and then up to 20mg a day.
It is supposed to help me with my social phobia, but now I only feel the side effects: nausea, dizziness, shakiness and agitation.

Side effects come almost immediately, the good effects don't. Sometimes side effects lessen over time. It's always hard to know if to stick by a med and hope bad stuff will go away and hope for good effects (approx 6 weeks).
