After this last year of suffering with anxiety and now comes along depression. I bit the bullet and went to a psychiatrist. She prescribed paxil.
I have been taking the paxil for 3 days now, I just started with 5 mgs and will move up as necessary.
It has been hard to work these last few days. I feel weird (spacey) in my head, my stomach is upset, I just feel so out of it.
Is this normal for paxil? I'm afraid to go up to 10 mgs., but I can't keep living like I was. If there is a chance this will help with my anxiety and depression, especially the depression, I feel that I have to try.
I was just hoping that maybe someone here has taken paxil or another SSRI that has worked for them and tell me how it was for them starting out on the paxil and if it gets better.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
Becky
