Oh yea I forgot, I was on betablockers too for anxiety.

Talk about offlabel mess. LOL.

OCD type anxiety is known to sometimes severely worsen with paxil, so there it's not the first choice, but it seems to be the first choice with social anxiety.

Here, wellbutrin was pushed as the new fancy anti anxiety med when it was new. It was quite bizarre to see, since the med often causes more anxiety if you already had it. They just had to stop that practice and admit their mistake. Now seroquel is the cure all here. Ugh. For the longest everyone got zoloft for every mental complaint. Part from that, vistaril is still the number one anxiety med where I'm from. So many people here think if vistaril doesn't help them, nothing will. It upsets me some.
