I can't seem to stop. I have (had) been doing well on my maintenance dose of Paxil CR, but the past few weeks I have noticed myself slipping (my pdoc was concerned about the winter months because he has a lot of patients who get more depressed or have a recurrence of depression during that time). I thought, maybe, it was just because of a stressful situation in my workplace which is causing a lot of uncertainty and gossiping, but, usually, exercise can help me unwind and take my mind off of things like that. The past couple of weeks I have been crying everyday and feeling irritable and nervous. I increased the Paxil back up to 25mg for the past 2 weeks, and all it is doing making me tired. It is a seasonal thing, but that doesn't make it any easier to deal with. I see my pdoc next Saturday, so I am definitely going to ask about changing the AD I am on. In retrospect, the Paxil CR, even at a dose as high as 50mg for many months, only really just took the edge off and helped me get more active again. I feel like a bloody loser.
