Thanks for sharing your experience. I would love to get to a point where I actually want people to come over, want to be in a group without feeling overwhelmingly self-conscious. I was more likely to go out and do things while on Effexor, but my anxiety persisted. I need something more calming than Effexor, but less calming than Lexapro. =) Was the hope of finding something better the only reason you left Paxil or just the main reason?
> Paxil worked great for me and I thought "someting else" would be better as far as activating. Since then I've tried Lex, Luvox and Prozac which have done nothing for anxiety except maybe just being flat and not caring. On Paxil I wanted to cook and have people over etc. Since quitting I've felt more non caring which can be good in relationship issues but I was much more wanting to do things on Paxil. I'm currently taking 150mg of Wellbutrin SR and thinking about asking my pdoc about adding 5mg of Lex or 20mg of Paxil. Any comments?
