Hi, I do not mean to scare you but there is a class action law suit for Paxil. You need to be careful taking this medication. Here is the link for the information. http://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/case/paxil_birth_defects.html?ref=newsletter_whn

Thank you for posting the link, even though I'm not quite sure what it has to do with this topic since she's asking about it affecting her period (so she's obviously not pregnant, which is what this lawsuit is all about.)

I have been taking Paxil for about six years and I must say that my periods are abnormally heavy, including clotting. I am in the process of finding a new doctor. I never thought about Paxil having anything to do with it, but you may be right. I will have to find out for myself. I had tried a lot of medications before Paxil and it is the only one that did not give me too many side effects. Thanks for that information.

I started out on 10mg and didn't notice any difference in my periods and I'm now on 20mg and I still haven't noticed any difference. Did you talk to you doctor about it? Maybe it was something else entirely that should be looked into. Good luck either way!
