I've been taking paroxetine 30 mg now for about 2 years. I must say that it works well. No bad anxiety or panic attacks any more. But I think that this medicine has increased my cholesterol levels. They've always been at 5.0 but now they're almost 8.0. That really surprised me. Partly because I've got mild arteriosclerosis. I had a good read of the patient information leaflet and it definitely said in there that this drug can increase cholesterol levels. On average in 1 in between 10 to 100 people. So my question is now, has anyone else got this side effect? And if so, what are you doing about it? I'm actually considering gradually stopping it. Because high cholesterol really worries me. So it's not going away. Thanks for your opinions.
