I have been on this medication for a while without problems, since October or November at this dose (increase). But now I'm getting stomach cramps or bloating regularly and I'm pretty sensitive to stomach pains. Has anyone had similar problems with this medication? Could it be a side-effect of having too little breakfast on top of taking the medication?

Not sure what to do, but I don't want to take a Pepto on a daily basis.

My personal experiene on Paxil for 2 years says get off that drug! Talk to your doctor, find another way! I'm surprised this drug is still being presribed. I went to a website called "quitpaxil.org". see if it's still out there. I had to take 2 weeks out of my life to get off this drug. It is known for causing suicidal symptoms, which I eventually developed after long term use of this drug, which I found strange for an anitidepressant. They compared the withdrawls to that of going off heroin! I had a real rough time getting off this drug.Never felt it helped me at all. Check with your doctor & see if that website is still out there. This program will help you more than you can imagine! Drugs may help but are not the only answer! I take xanax for my anxiety & it keeps me from having panic attacks anymore. Consult w/ your doctor or another proessional before you decide what to do! This is just my opinion! Best of luck to you! Take care of yourself!
