About last night...

Well, I did like my NP told me and added an extra 10mg of Paxil at night last night. I took it at 7:30 and laid down at about 8:00. By 9:30, I was wide awake and wigging out! My brain felt like I was on some drug (well you know what I mean) and I felt all dizzy and heavy but totally awake. This went on until 2:30am till I finally broke down and tried the Ativan she gave me. I was totally freaked about trying another new med but I HAD to get some sleep! Well, I did, for about 3hrs. Then I was up again but totally exhausted! Then at 6:30 I had to get up and get the kids on the bus. I only took a Paxil 12.5mg CR this am instead of the 20mg I have been taking because I was scared to put that much more meds into my system! After that, I went back to bed and crashed. It felt like I was in a state of semi-sleep until I got up at noon. The thing is, as crappy as I feel right now, I don't feel the anxiety like I did yesterday. I am totally confused now about what to do. If the extra med is helping my anxiety, then great, but I can't live without sleep!!! I called my NP to let her know what is going on but she hasnt' called me back. I am usually pretty med sensitive so I am not suprised by this, just frustrated. My DH thinks she overmedicated me and that 10mg was too much. I don't know anymore what to think. I am so tired and weak today, I feel like just going back to bed. I can't wait till my therapy appt on Thurs. I hope she can help me this time!!! Well, thanks for listening!! Erin
