So, on the subject of anxiety and medication, my pdoc put me on Paxil. Wanted me to start with 12.5 a day for the first 8 days, then go up to 25mgs a day. I took the first 12.5mg dose and nearly killed myself because of it.

For me, the Paxil erased any of the gains made by the Welbutrin, and increased the depression and axiety by a fact of five. I could not believe how badly that stuff made me feel and I just don't know what to do. I'd been on Xanax as needed for a while (15 tablets lasted me 2 months) and I certainly wouldn't mind having something to cut the anxiety down to something I can more easily deal with, but Paxil, no way, NEVER again!!!

Anyone else every face this problem? What did you do?
