I've been suffering from a lot more anxiety recently than I have in about 4 years. What I do for myself is to knock off any caffeine including chocolate, coffee, tea etc. I try to take in more water and less sugars and salts. It does seem to help take the sharp edges off for me.

I used to take paxil years ago and I found the same thing happened to me as to you. I had absolutely NO emotions, nothing, nil, zip, nada. For a short time, it was good for me to be like that, but after about 4 months, I really needed to FEEL things again. My doc took me off the paxil and put me on Celexa. I did wonderfully on Celexa...it just did the trick for me and eventually I was able to stop it altogether. It allowed me to work through my problems with a clear head.

I wish you well and hope you find something that works for you real soon! Take good care.

Hugssssss
Jean
