"I started taking Paxil (paroxetine) for mild anxiety on the 31st of March 2022. I took 5mg daily, which is the minimum dose.

I continued with the same dose and stopped taking it on April the 15th of the same year, that was it.

While on the medication, I felt sedated and apathetic, I had never been like this, normally I'm always happy, hyperactive as well as passionate about music and life.

Shortly after stopping, a whole bunch of symptoms started to appear.

I lost my libido completely, I experience cognitive issues, sexual dysfunction, fatigue, emotional numbness and genital numbness.

I'm also unable to feel love or any kind of sexual attraction.

To this day, 7 months later, my symptoms have not gotten any better, they've only gotten worse.

The last 7 months have been a living nightmare. Without energy and emotions I just stay alone at home, suffering from the symptoms that paroxetine left me with.

I've had to quit my job and I have become a hermit. I'm begging for answers."
