In reply to Anyone have chills/cold feeling with dep and anx?, posted by BobS, on January 2, 2005, at 17:35:08
I also have the chills and the coldness. It's worst for me around an anxiety attack. I'm still looking for a treatment that works, and so don't have any suggestions, really. But thought I'd give a shout-out to let you know that you're not alone.
Best,

> I need some help from anyone who is depressed and anxious (anxious depression). I am taking Cymbalta 80 mg, Paxil 17.5 mg Cytomel 20 mcg to augment and Xanax 2 to 4 mgs depending on the severity of my anxiety.

> I have not had a robust reponse to the ADs, mainly because I was on Paxil for 4 years and quit for 3 years and felt great. Then the anxious depression came back and I bombed on Zoloft, Lexapro, Remeron and finally onto to Paxil which didn't work the second time around.
