Of course, I don't know what side effects you may experience. But all medication increase my panic attacks, too.... Except Paxil.
There's been so many. A combination of Prozac and Abilfy made me want to crawl out of my skin, Seroquel would make me get up and run around in a frenzy in the middle of the night, Zoloft, celexa, lexapro...all caused more anxiety. Lamictal and trileptal made me freak out and scratch until I bled... I could go on but I think you get the point.
But not Paxil. After a couple of weeks, it was like being wrapped in a warm blanket. Sigh.
I was on it for TEN YEARS. It worked so well that after a decade, I believed I was CURED and no longer had mental problems. So....... I stopped taking it.
How dumb was that???!!!!!!
