Sometimes, more isn't always better.
I also take Klonpin for my anxiety, between the 2 meds and CBT I've been feeling better.
Paroxetine is generic for Paxil, so basically it's the same med. I hope you continue to feel better!

Is your klonpin you take Incase you have extra anxiety?
Like I think that would be great for me to have a drug that I can take in case my anxiety gets a bit too much to handle, that way I don't have to increase my mg for Paxil. That make sense?
Like I'd like to ask my dr if I can get another anxiety drug I can take once in a while, basically Incase my anxiety gets too much, but I'd also like to ask him if he can increase my Paroxetine to maybe 30 mg or so (which would be tripling it). But I'd be worried I'd get the question "Why take two different anxiety medicines?" So how can I do this and ask my dr for this? This makes sense I hope?
For example, I'd take Paroxetine everyday, then I'd take Xanax (or something like that) for "emergency" anxiety that won't go away.
Does Paroxetine help treat BDD?
