I am trying a new regimine of low dose Paxil (10mg/day) & low dose Wellb xr (100mg/day). I take the Paxil at night & plan on starting the Wellb mornings as soon as I adjust to the Paxil. Paxil & Klonopin have been about the only meds to address my anxiety/panic in the past but I was always sleepy. Had good results with Effexor xr but it raised my blood pressure. I also will be adding Neurontin eventually if I need to smooth things out. I am dx'd Bipolar II. I know that SSRI's are not always the best choice for this disorder but after LOTS of med trials I am going back to the things that have given me the best result with the most tolerable side fx. Wellbutrin energizes me but exacerbates anxiety. Paxil quelled my anxiety but I kept nodding off. Klnonopin is from the med Gods. I am hoping that this cocktail might give me the calm energy & focus I so desperately want while keeping my treatment resistant depression at bay. My pdoc is REAL liberal so he lets me try about anything (within reason) that I can come up with. Any one ever try Paxil & Wellb together? Any thoughts? Is this a stupid idea?
TIA
