In reply to Can Paxil give you MORE anxiety?????????, posted by UgottaHaveHOPE on June 7, 2006, at 20:59:56
I took Paxil 20mg for a couple weeks and had an increase in anxiety. PA suggested I goup to 40mg, which I did and then had horrible anxiety, shakes, sick,... It was awful! I just could not ride it out (and I am a pretty determined person), so he weaned me off the stuff and viola, anxiety gone. PA said that Paxil can cause a large increae in anxiety in about 10% of those who use it. Just his thoughts.

PS: I had to use Lorazepam to cope with the anxiety AND the W/D off Paxil
