Dan, Hello. I hope the above posts helped some. I thought i had it bad here (usa) with my pdoc, 15 min. and out the door w/ a prescription. But she does listen to what i say and that is good. She had me on paxil for about 5 months. Before that, effexor, zoloft, celexa and serzone. I have long term depression, since i was little ppl always asked me why i was sad. I also have social anxiety and panic disorder. I keep trying different med combo's and pray i will find the right one. I got off paxil last week, and now that my head is clearing, i was such a zombied fog head on paxil. I hate it. and I too gained weight from it! But my pdoc recommended prozac, lamictal and xanax for me now. Its day 8, I went right from 37mg of paxil to 20mg prozac. So, Im going through some issues right now, but from what i have heard they will subside. I have been, happy as hell, crying, angery, hyper and exhausted all in the last 8 days. But I am going to give this cocktail a try. Prozac is suppose to last the longest of its type of medication (everyting else i ever take poops out in about 5 months) and lamictal is suppose to boost the AD effect of prozac and be a mood stabelizer. I would suggest that combo to your doc and see what he/she says. We seem to have very similar symptoms.
Good Luck,
San
