Hi B :)
>she seems not to believe me that it was working
Doctors believe what they want to believe........the influence of expectation.
>that would be with higher dosage
600mg is not especially low. Even in epilepsy, 600mg can sometimes be adequate.
>I agree. I felt great the first 2 days on 10mgs paxil, and i still took my last doses of trileptal. Best i had felt in years. 20mgs threw me for an acid trip. I am on day 10 of 20mgs,so should just push through right? My anxiety/derealization is still way worse.
I would go back to 10mg if I were you. You can increase to 20mg in a few weeks time *if necessary*. I would never let anyone force me to take a higher dose than I was comfortable with. It's my body!
>Oh yeah, im not supposed to look anything up on the internet regarding mental health.
Some doctors prefer that their patients lack knowledge RE medications. This way, the doctor can assume the role of the expert. It's got a lot to do with ego.
