I also gained weight on seroxat- it increased my appetite and i didn't do any exercise! I couln't have an orgasm on paroxetine at first but to my surprise that side effect went away with time :) In a way it was quite convenient since i've always had premature ejaculation!!
Its quite common for ppl to get anxiety between doses of chlordiazepoxide at first, its very lipid soluble which means it's rapidly re-distributed to fatty tissues after a dose has been taken- this reduces its clinical duration of action during the early stage of treatment despite its long half life. Once the active metabolites have reached a constant level in the blood the effect of the drug should remain constant throughout the day. It can take several weeks to reach this point with librium however, and you might find you never need a dose increase at all.
Personally, my anxiety is relatively under control at the moment. I did try stopping the citalopram a while ago but developed obsessive compulsive disorder so i quickly went back on it.
I've had many types of anxiety in the past( basically ever since i was born i have found something to worry about). I've had social phobia( but not any more), OCD, some unusual specific phobias, depression and an eating disorder which was strongly related to anxiety. I always develop strong physical symptoms with my anxiety such as not being able to speak, eat or write if i start to panic. Thankfully i've been ok during the last few months. I'm doing pharmacy at manchester uni and have just started my second year. I'm still in halls of residance and its been nice to meet the new people.
