Strange Feelings???

I've been on paxil over 4 weeks and have greatly improved. I still take ativan daily. I tried not to take it today, but gave in at 4:00. I felt warm in my stomach area, a little anxious, my tounge was a little numb and I felt a little tingly. It wasn't a bad feeling, just really strange. My question is, did I have that feeling because I'm still getting used to paxil or was that the feeling of not taking the ativan? Any comments, suggestions would be appreciated.

For me, all these sensations & feeling a little *off* is plain old anxiety. If I was worried about my meds, the anxiety would be stronger. Over the years, I have had to work hard to keep myself from thinking the sensations were an indication of a real medical illness. They can really throw me. HTH (((hugs))) jan
