I am new to the boards and really looking for some help. I have always suffered from some form of anxiety but as of the past 2 weeks I cant even leave my house. I was taking 40 paxil and xanax as needed until I felt like nothing is working anymore. I have missed 2 weeks of work, I have 2 small children to care for and I can barely function or step foot out my front door. My husband used to be my "safe" person but not as of lately for some reason. I am starting to have issues with staying home alone with or without my kids, I completely freak out. My dr has decided that I should alternate nights taking 40 paxil and 20 paxil, has me on 1-2 mg of xanax and has started me on 7.25 mg of buspar. I guess her goal is to get me off the paxil and completely on buspar but so far no go. I have taken the Buspar twice and let me tell you I feel crazy. I have the tremors, headache, jelly legs, light headed the whole nine. I haven't taken any now in 24 hours and i feel semi normal after taking a xanax. I cant keep living like this. Does anyone have any suggestions? My dr seems to think my body might have gotten used to the paxil but would boosting up to 60mg maybe help? I have been on it for 4 years and no issues until now. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
