Good luck Zee Zee! Paxil was a wonder drug for me. You can even get it in liquid form so you could start as low as 1ml per day if you wanted to. There's no hurry so take your time with increasing the dosage - you may even want to get a pill cutter so you can cut them into small amounts. As Xanax is v quick working - you could leave taking it until you start feeling anxious (as opposed to taking it in case you do). The fastest way is to dissolve it under your tongue (apparently tastes like crap though!). I hope it works as well for you as it did for me.
Let me know how you do.
Cheers

She has no experience with Moc and doesn't feel comfortable prescribing something she's unfamiliar with, plus she cannot prescribe it for me since it's not available in the US. She feels very strongly that if we take the Paxil VERY, VERY slowly with the use of xanax (non generic form) that I should adjust to the initial effects without much adverse reaction. She's so nice and patient and understanding I decided to trust her with this and took the leap of faith to follow her directions. I'll start this Sunday night and hopefully will do OK. She also said she'd prescribe a histamine blocker if sexual side effects and weight gain is a problem. She encouraged me to use my xanax without hesitation and to not worry about "dependence".
