In reply to Anxiety Overload - Paxil? Lexapro?, posted by renelso1 on October 11, 2002, at 18:42:06
Since your primary symptom is anxiety the first order of business is a benzo (Klonopin or Xanax or a combination of the two), to get the anxiety under control. At the same time you could start an AD. Paxil is a good choice. So are TCAs, imipramine or amitryptiline pop first to mind. When your at a steady state with the AD, try backing off the benzos, slowly, to see if the AD alone controls the anxiety. If it doesn't stay on the benzos.
Hope this helps; something will.
