I've been diagnosed with mild performance anxiety and just general anxiety. I also have social phobia and mild OCD. The Social Phobia causes me the most stress and is what prompted me to take Paxil.
I tried Paxil 10mg for a while, and it did improve my anxiety to some degree. However, I felt sedated and experienced marijuana-like effects: paranoia, dullening of emotions and feelings (that's what decreases my anxiety), cloudy thinking and inability to concentrate, decrease in motivation, oversleeping and fatigue. What medications beside SSRI's might help my condition?
