In reply to Can Paxil give you MORE anxiety?????????, posted by UgottaHaveHOPE on June 7, 2006, at 20:59:56
> has anybody had experience with that? at 40mg?
I'm going to take the easy way out and say that almost anything is possible when it comes to antidepressants. I don't think Paxil is as likely to produce anxiety as Prozac or Lexapro, but it is possible. The question is, will it disappear? I guess the only way to know is to try it. However, if the anxiety persists for two weeks, I doubt it would resolve on its own. I guess your decision will depend, in part, upon what condition you are treating and what drugs you have tried thusfar. For me, Lexapro produced anxiety during the second week of treatment. The anxiety disappeared during the third week.
If you decide it is worth continuing the trial of Paxil, you might consider using an anxiolytic temporarily.
