Thanks for all your replies.
I took paxil for head pressure/squeezing. Not for depression. I was already on .5mg. clonazepam per day for anxiety. I definitely know what depression is now so no, I believe I was a pretty happy camper.
But does it really matter why I went on paxil? The point is that it doesn't do anything for me anymore except keep me from withdrawl.
My brain doesn't like life without it and it isn't effective at returning me to my previous state.
I did go on zoloft for a while. It was added to my paxil. It didn't seem to do anything to improve my mood either way. I figured if it didn't help my mood along with paxil then why decrease the paxil? That would have certainly made things worse it seems.
But I don't remember if I was on Nort. at the time or for long enough though.
By the way, what is a better med to replace Nort. without the weight gaining properties. This is a big problem as well.
Thank you,
Laney
Have taken paxil for 13 years. Is no longer working. My own diagnosis is depression. Have tried Lamictal, Wellbutrin and Now Zoloft all with the 10mg. paxil.
