BAD DAY- NEED ADVICE/SUPPORT
| Mon, 08-29-2005 - 2:09pm |
HI- I AM HAVING A BAD DAY TODAY. DID NOT TAKE MY ATIVAN THIS MORNING AND AM PAYING FOR IT NOW. BAD ANXIETY. TOOK THE ATIVAN ABOUT 15 MINUTES AGO. PDOC SAID SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ANXIETY IF PAXIL WORKING- BUT DON;T WANT TO INCREASE DOSAGE BECAUSE LAST TIME IT REALLY SEDATED ME. THE ATIVAN HAD BEEN HELPING, BUT HE IS'T A FAN OF TAKING IT FOR TOO LONG- I'VE BEEN ON 20 MG OF PAXIL FOR ALMOST 5 WEEKS AND HAVE BEEN DOING OK. FEELING ALOT MORE STABLE THAN BEFORE TAKING IT.
WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
THANKS

I hope by the time you read this that the ativan has kicked in.
I don't know much about Paxil, but maybe someone will put in their 2 cents.
Hang in there! Wishing you a peaceful,relaxing evening.
hugs, shasta
Five weeks still seems kind of soon to know if the medicine is working to its fullest effect. I was on Paxil for a while, and for me it did lessen the anxiety. Hopefully by now you are feeling more relaxed. Take care!

Hi Elaine,
I am sorry to hear that you're not feeling the greatest.
Its always so bad to have setbacks... I know that for me I am always afraid that I am going to have to start fighting my anxiety over, but I never do.
Please take care of yourself and let us know how your doing. I really do care... ! I know how awful this anxiety junk is...
