Im on 10mg paxil atm ive gradually got to this dose as I was getting quite servere side effects at first. My question is although dr thought I may be ok with low dose to prevent side effect s im thinking I might need to go up to 20mg. As I started feeling better but now seem to have gone back to feeling anxious don't know why, tingly all over and stuck like a rabbit in the headlights feeling, where I cant do anything. Should I just start upping them before I go back to drs next week ? Ive got enough and she did say we may have to, any advice ?

Marie,

My advice is to call her office first. You will most likely be able to get the green light from a phone consult since this was already discussed...

...but it is never a good idea to change your dosage without talking to your doctor first. Number one is safety, and secondly you don't want any awkward 'confessions' when you do go in for your appointment next week.

Best wishes and use your coping skills to get you through until your anxiety symptoms lessen:)

S.C.
