Not anymore. I started on paxil, but it worked for about 6 months then I nosedived. Then I tried celexa - good for 2 1/2 years. Then I tanked on that. I then was on zyprexa and I wanted to die. I slept for 16 hours and was ravenously hungry. Finally, I found a new doctor (a p-doc this time) and now I'm on effexor xr, buspar and small dose of xanax. This feels like a winner and I'm starting to feel better rather than worse.

Paxil might have been OK if the doc and I had been monitoring it better (he's a GP) and tried different dosages or combos with other drugs. Also have heard many horror stories about self adjusting dosage. I wouldn't want to do it unsupervised.
