You gotta get up to at least 40 mg of Paxil in order to make a difference. 60 is possible, and I'm insane so I went on 80--but that really didn't make a difference from 60.
> I am a diagnosed BP and have recently switched from Welbutrin to Paxil. My doc switched me to Paxil due to intense anxiety and loss of appetite I was having, and we thought some of it might be from the Welbutrin. I am now on my 6th or 7th week on Paxil 20mg and the anxiety has lessened. The problem is that I still can't seem to motivate myself on a consistent basis to do even basic life things (like eat and go to work) and have been resorting to trying to stay in bed to sleep it off. Of course I know this is irrational, and I want to change. Does the Paxil lower motivations along with anxiety?
