I've been having random anxiety.. For those of you who have missed a dose of meds, do you get anxiety after?? I missed my dose Sunday night & took it Monday morning.

I'm just trying to figure out where this anxiety is coming from. Since being on the Paxil, I haven't felt like this at all so I'm afraid :( I just want it to go away again..

I suspect that it's really only coming from your awareness of that missed dose and your feelings about the consequences from it.

Well usually my meds don't allow me to feel like this. Even in uncomfortable situations so I'm not understanding it.

Just go back to taking it on time every day, and it should subside soon.

Can I make a suggestion? Talk to your GP and get off that damn Paxil. Paxil is brutal. I took it for 5 years. It works but made me a walking corpse.

Lexapro is the way to go. A lot less side effects and weight gain. I highly recommend it.

So far I've been on it for 4 months & way more outgoing & social. Not corpse like at all! Thanks though

Many people are not ok on AD, I wish I could be on it, but I am not able to take any AD due to the reactions; heart beat and spiking blood pressure. The only one I can take is gabapentin and benzo of course.
Everyone is different and what works on you grc may not work for Brooke:)
