Paxil & Late Periods?
| Wed, 04-21-2004 - 12:23am |
First of all, I will say sorry to all the guys out there who really are not interested in this topic.
But to all the ladies, I had to post this since I am having a hard time finding anything out about this online.
I started taking Paxil about 3-4 weeks ago for depression. I have never taken anti-depressants before. So far, I am feeling better in terms of mood, not wanting to sleep all the time, tension, attitude, and I am becoming interested in things once more.
However, I am concerned about the fact that I am late this month and I am wondering if it could have anything to do with the Paxil. I have heard of women having longer periods due to Paxil, but what about missed ones? HELP!
Thank you all!

Welcome Starla,
This is the point where I generally would contact my pharmacist as soon as possible, and or a phone call to the Doctor's office.
I was on Paxil for a long time, but I have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome so my period were always messed up anyway. I am currently in the process of going of Paxil.
Sorry I couldn't be of any help sweetie!
Pamela
Hugs, Brenda
The part that frustrated me is that all the side effect stuff listed anything dealing with periods. So that is why I got so nervous. Anyone else this has happened to?
Today I noticed a bit of spotting, but my regular type period still has not come. Did anyone have spotting as well?
Thanks for reading!
