Also, the sample my Dr. gave me is called Lexipro. I took one last week and it made me extremely dizzy and nauseuous ( though the nausea may have been caused by my fear of the dizziness which is caused by my hypochodria ...sheesh) Anyway, I called up my clinic and they told me to reduce the dose to half a pill. I just scared myself by looking up the side-effects online and now I'm worried about taking it.

Is anyone familiar with this? I was told that if I'm still having problems with side-effects that I should try Paxil CR. I don't want the side-effects to be worse than the disorder itself and all this stuff is new to me. For all I know my body was upset with me that I had to resort to taking a medication.

Thanks
