Hi Mary Jean, and thanks for answering.

I also get leg cramps (hamstrings and calves) occasionally during the night. I had an MRI done and the cramps were due to tight lower back muscles (this put pressure on my sciatic nerve, causing the occasional and painful cramps). I'm much better now that I stretch my lower back.

And yeah, if you feel Paxil, or any drug, has stopped working for you, it's time for a change (and of course always under a Dr's supervision). And hey, if your son did it, you can do it! Good for both of you, and thanks again for sharing your story.

Joe
