Heh, sorry 2 tell you this, But my shrink has been throwings different medication at me for like 2 years now and nothing has helped in the slightest. But then again different things help for different people.So maybe the next post will be off someone who can recomend somthing instead of someone like me who is just moaning

Maggie, read ur post and it kinda shocked me.I would strongly recomend that you go and see a doctor. Umm i was terrified of seing a doctor before i actualy went for numerous reasons, one reason being i fall to pieces at any social encounter and the only other reason is that i didnt really understand what i had so i didnt know what to tell him.But seeing my doctor (well im on to a shrink now) is one of the few things which doesnt bother me as they i dont feel they are judging me.I honestly think you would feel better thats why im nagging you like im ur mum or somthing

Health care in Canada is free, I never hesitated seeing a dr. about my sp.
At least you know you have it. At first I had heart palpitations when I would leave my house for work. I never realised I had social phobia until my dr. informed me.
Danfalc, I want a shrink too! Now that I have extended health care by my employer.....

It's strange to hear that you've beeen recieving 10mg for a whole month. My doctor had me increasing dosage every few days or every week until eventually I was taking 50mg and sometimes more per day.

Hi, Paxil didn't work for me either. I now take Lexapro in the morning, 10 mg and 30 mg Remeron at night. This combination is working wonders and I feel almost "normal", with very little anxiety.

BTW, where do you live?
Canada--Ontario province. Actually I've been on 10mg for 2 years now.....on and off.
I kinda am glad that I'm on 10mg...I don't wanna fry my brain with different dosages! The way you described your treatment makes it sound like drug abuse....I mean in the medical sense....
It takes time for you to get used to paxil....Your doctor's trowing you different dosages for $$$ without considering that your body needs to get used to it.especially paxil.

That's interesting..I wonder what the long-term side effects would be.Kinda scares me.
I used to be on Paxil and it done nothing for me, except it helped me sleep...that's why I'm not on any medication right now. Nothing seems to work for me, and everything makes me dizzy and sleepy constantly and I have to work so I can't feel dizzy and sleepy all day long at work.
