Thanks Karin,

I've been on 40mg of paroxetine (Paxil) since 2002, so 22 years. I tried to taper off but wasn't successful. And I was very lucky in that Paxil was the first anti-depressant I tried, and it has worked very well.

I also workout on a spin bike 5 or 6x/week for 40 minutes. It's a hard (and sweaty) workout but I feel great after. Vigorous exercise of this type can lessen the symptoms of depression for some.

All the best.

Joe

Good for you Joe. Finding an antidepressant that works well for you combined with a solid exercise program sounds like a winning combination. That and eating well and not smoking or drinking can do wonders for your body.
