Hi Brian,
I read your previous posts and you do have a lot of questions, buts that good :-) My first question for you is in regards to the Adderall, you wrote 20mgs, is that all at once or broken into 10 mgs, in other words, how much are you taking, and when? I take Adderall too, I have found that there are times when I need less than what my Doc has prescribed. I am prescribed 40mgs, but have been cutting my pills in half because I have been feeling edgy lately.SSRI's, I don't have personal experience with Paxil, though my daughter took it without a positive response. I was taking Prozac in addition to Adderall, but ended up stopping. I felt *very* edgy/nervous with the combination of Prozac and Adderall, so it is possible that the Paxil is enhancing the Adderall's effect or vice-versa. Also, according to my doc, Paxil works better for anxiety/social disorder than Prozac.
If the side-effects don't lessen, and they're making you nervous, try cutting the Adderall in half. I was suprised to find the positive effects of even half my normal amount, maybe you will too. My best wishes to you.
