Paxil -- how long does this last?

Posted by audrey on November 11, 2001, at 18:41:27

I have been taking Paxil for a little over three weeks in an attempt to put a stop to my anxiety and to help with my agorophobia. I began by taking 10mg for a week, then upping to 20mg. A few days after I started taking 20mg, I began having worse anxiety than before I started. I am constantly fidgeting, when I lay down I find myself rubbing my feet together, my jaw is often clenched, my muscles, especially my neck, are tight. I feel so anxious almost all the time, and can't concentrate on anything. I'm always pacing. I had an all out panic attack today. I haven't noticed any improvement in any of my symptoms (i.e., still have a very hard time getting out of the house) and my anxiety is worse. Should I give the Paxil more time, or should I begin considering other options?

Thanks for your help,
Audrey
