Greetings, my name is Mel. I am 25 years old. For about the past two months I have been taking Paxil 20mg and klonopin .25mg daily. As of late, most days it has worked and I'm really pleased with it. However, on days like today, my 'Sylvia Plath days'...I feel a bit sad and did undergo a panic attack after yet another failed job interview. Well, the interview went well I thought, but today I found out she chose to go with another applicant.

I'm also having some problems in my home area. My husband and I have been married for five years, our sex life is great, communication..not so much. There are periods that we seem only to tolerate one another. Although, I think he can tell that I am making an effort to make our marriage work, and I can tell that he is making an honest attempt as well. We have a 5 year old daughter together, and do not want her growing up in a broken home. We were both brought up in one.

My main thought is this: why does my paxil/klonopin combo seem to work most days, and let my nerves shine through on some? I really need my nerves to stay chilled out. I'm an antsy, jittery, emotional mess when I can't keep myself under control. Is there anyone else out there that has a similar dilemma? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Mel
