Hi Susy,
I was on Paxil 4 years ago and took Klonopin for the first week or so to offset the side effects. Doc and pharmacist both recommended it. I never heard of not taking them today. They work quite well. By the way, I'm super sensitive to meds and I wasn't afraid to take AD's as long as I can take a "benzo" to offset the initial side effects. Go for it and feel good again!
