Starting a New Antidepressant: Need Encouragement

After 6 months of trying to get on something better for me after going off Lexapro, I've now been prescribed Paxil/Paroxetine. I'm one of those people who dreads taking new medications and over-thinks everything till I'm super stressed about it so if you've got words of encouragement I'd love to hear them!

I was on Paxil for a year and a half. It helped me tremendously. The only side effects I had were yawning for the first week or 2 after I started. It went away though. It was one of the funniest side effects I've ever had. I hope all goes well!! I'm thinking of going back on it because of how much it helped me.
