Was prescribed Paxil today for anxiety\depression. If you are on this, how has your experience been?
I've been on it for a little over a month. & it's made a huge difference! I'm currently in the middle if upping my dose from 20mg to 40mg.Originally Posted by butterfly82
I started feeling good on the 20mg so I'm excited to see how the 40mg is.
Good luck!
"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Oh that's great news! My doctor is starting me on 10 mg since I will be moving cross-country in two weeks- she said once I get a new doctor at our new location I should have it up'd to 20 mg and go from there.
I also take .5mg of Kolonopin as needed.
Did you experience any side effects when you first started it?
I started at 10mg also.
I had a little anxiety as a side effect but that only lasted I think 2 days which is when I would use my xanax. So that's good you have klonopin!
Overall, the side effects weren't bad at all!!

Oh good! I hope I have mild side effects or non would be better
Zoloft and Celexa didn't work for me, so I'm hoping this will
I hope it works for you too!!Oh good! I hope I have mild side effects or non would be betterZoloft and Celexa didn't work for me, so I'm hoping this will
& hey that's okay!! I know lots of people who are lifers on AD.

I will keep you postedI hope it works for you too!!
My doctor didn't say. I take the Kolonopin at night when I need it. I was thinking of taking it a night also, but maybe I should split it up, one at night and the other in the morning?
Yea try that. If you makes you sleepy, then switch to nightI will keep you posted

So I haven't taken it yet...I'm nervous about the side effects, it's so stupid. I'm determined to start taking it today! It's such a low dose to start with anyway
