I should clarify that when saying I "haven't taken it recently" I'm talking about the Ativan. I take Paxil daily. :) Thanks...
Hey there~ So I've been on 20 mg of Paxil for the past 6 weeks (tomorrow hits my 6 week mark, exactly) and taking .5 of Ativan when needed. Haven't taken it recently, and not sure I want to. Anyway....
Hey there- I'm pretty new here ~ I've posted a few posts previously, but I will start off by saying that my name is Mitch, and I have had anxiety in the past (6th grade) and am now a 20 year old in...
Hey Bettsann - I don't know how much I can "help" in this case, but I will say that I'm the same way. I wake up in the morning feeling more anxious than when I went to bed. Probably due to the...
I agree- long term is different for all people. I worry about being on Paxil "long term" but I also know that in the current state I'm in, I'm not really living. I am just worrying constantly about...
Thank you for letting me know this! It really helps to read that it may actually be a good sign, after all. I worry so much about "dumb" things like this- and knowing that all this may actually be a...
JungRulz- very interesting read. Also comforting knowing that information. Thank you for sharing that with me! :)...
Thank you for answering- that's comforting. It sucks knowing that, but I'm glad it doesn't necessarily mean that these are the wrong pills for me. That's the thing I worry about the most. I'm so...
Hey there So, being an anxious person, I decided I would just go ahead and post this. I am dealing with a mixture of GAD, OCD, and Depression. Mostly the first two. I have been off and on several...
I can speak from experience, that I have quit several pills after only taking them a short amount of time. Once upon a time I was on Lamictal and Klonopin. I developed a severe rash after about a...
I agree, thank you for helping around here. Panda- I will say thank you to you as well. It feels good knowing that there is someone out there that may be going through the same thing. It sucks that...
I haven't taken this medication myself, but I do know how the side effects of withdrawal with some pills can be. I know that if they get SO bothersome (sounds like you're at that point...) ~ a doctor...
Thank you for your post. It was nice to read through. I will say that my grandfather and I were quite close. I believe, as my new psychiatrist said, I have gotten this anxiety "pop up" again from...
I, too, have had vivid dreams in the past. I was on Citalopram for awhile, and had normal dreams. But when I started taking Wellbutrin, I noticed the intensity increase. They were dreams of me dying...
~I will add, that after looking at the OCD description in the "Anxiety - Panic Disorder" area of the site, it says that: "You may be filled with doubt and feel the need to check things repeatedly....
Hey there, So it has now been around 7 months since my grandfather passed away, and has been around 5 months now that I've been on anti-depressants. I started taking Citalopram 20mg and took that for...
