I been taking 10mg paxil for around 3-4 years after about a 1 year period of trying out over a dozen different medications with many not working for making me feel worse i was put on paxil and after some weeks I began to feel better. No longer was my strong accutane depression feeling like complete hell each and every waking moment. I was able to start functioning again and able to go back to highschool.
I've tried zoloft, celexa, effexor, vivarint, wellbutrin, zyprexa, risperidal, moclobemide, modafinil, adrafinil, ritalin, dexedrine, nortyptiline, xanax, remeron and several others.
My clinical depression was caused by accutane vitamin A overdose.
My symptoms: Lifeless, low energy, low drive, low motivation, low interests, low emotions, self doubt, social anxiety (the social anxiety helped greatly by paxil and ativan but still persists).
So many SSRI's and other meds blunt our emotions and I dont want that kind of feeling. I WANT emotions. I am sick of feeling only half alive.
Aside from strong depression I have always had strong social anxiety and paxil has helped for that too. But this paxil is not enough and I tried taking higher doses and that just makes me sleep all the time.
So please give me some options of what I can add to the paxil. I am so sick of living an uneventful boring dull unexciting life where Nothing interests me. Preferably something activating perhaps?Just recommend anything thanks.
