Paxil CANNOT be addictive because it does not work. The only addiction is mental. Recent studies have showed that Paxil had the same effect as the placebo. So those people who *think* it's working it works because they want it to so bad it seems as it is. I do not think that these people have a chemical imbalance since they can make themselves better with brainpower. I do study psychology by the way so this is not just random bs.
