Hey! I had that happen too with Paxil. It was to replace Prozac. That medication is what started my having anxiety attacks in the first place. I was getting them 24/7 until I stopped taking the meds (8 days total). I haven't stopped having anxiety attacks since, and am now on Clonaz - 2mg! per day. I have also been isolated for quite some time, but this is more of a choice isolation (I can go out when I need to, I just don't like to or want to, if that makes any sense). There is an upside(?) I no longer get migraines now that I have anxiety attacks.


Clonaz works for me in controlling my anxiety quite well. I haven't noticed side effects per se (I'm always feeling crappy so I can't tell what med is doing what to what part of my body). Definitely works when I need to be in crowds. More than 2 people, sometimes, is a crowd to me!


Know where your comin' from. I have extreme anxiety all the time. It is wearing me out. I have been like this (just anxiety) for about 7 years now.

And, ummm, this may seem like it's getting a little creepy(?), but really, I'm not following you around the site! Honestly, I look at the post subject, not the postee!
