Question: I have been taking Paxil for a severe case of Social Phobia for about 10 days. So far it has only made me sick to my stomach all the time. How long does it take for Paxil to start working for me and will this nausea go away??
Answer: The nausea usually persists, although occasionally gets better. You should be seeing some improvement now-but, three weeks is what we usually give it.
