Thanks for the help everyone. Yes, I'm VERY med sensitive. 10mg of Paxil worked for me even though that isn't that low. I get side effects from every med, but these side effects really scared me so I'm getting off.
My new pdoc is *sure* that I'm bipolar II (that's a story that I haven't posted) and I've only tried SSRI's by themselves (+Nardil) and he really wants to get me on a mood stabilizer or an antipyschotic + SSRI, but I'm too afriad of TD with AP's so I'd like to try some stabilizers first. He's a very firm doctor and doesn't really let me tell him what to do -- something that's good for me! I BEGGED him to let me try Nardil and he said "It won't work" "AD's are not the answer for you" and I guess I should have listened. It might have worked, I just couldn't handle the powerful side effects. They were (and ARE) much worse than you may think (I'll give them to you and let you see for yourself :) My mouth still feels so STIFF and my lips hurt/are numb/ and feel totally weird. It hurts to speak and my mouth is so stiff I have a hard time forming words. I'm sorry, I might be a "baby" but I just couldn't deal.Thanks again guys!
