I started Paxil CR about a week ago (for anxiety and depression and the above drugs didn't help) and it's been weird. First i didn't feel anything (of course). Then about four days into it, I felt like I was flying. I was so stoked. I thought, "I'm myself again!! This is awesome!!" I was cracking jokes, goofing off with my boyfriend and family, being my silly self. Then yesterday I crashed. I believe it was day 8 on Paxil. My anxiety was through the roof. Today I'm a little shaky. Do you think this is just my body/brain adjusting? I hate the way this affects me... for now. I'm willing to tough it out if it could get better. I, too, fear for my life - not physically, but my worklife, lovelife, etc... My therapist said not to make any important decisions when I'm panicked. I'm trying!! But it's hard when I feel like this... Anyone have any help to offer? I could use some encouragement.
PS - I tried Lexapro and HATED it. It really messed me up. I'll never touch the stuff again. But that's just me. :)
