for Nervous. Sometimes it helps if you keep a radio on and if you wake up in the night, there is more than just quiet and you don't feel so alone. Or get up and do some posting in the forum. You know that someone is reading them, even if they are not signed in. If you can avoid up-ing your meds, do so, because when I did that, I was like a walking zombie for awhile. The least amount you can get away with, the better, and try deep breething, or listening to a talk show on the radio. Anything to calm you down, but I wouldn't advise up-ing meds unless all else fails. We know that there are always reactions to panic attacks, and if we can deal with them in ways other than over-medicating, thats the best thing, even tho we have some bad reactions till we can get hld of them mentally on our own. Just a thought, and I hope you're doing better. We are all here to help when these things rear thier ugly heads, and can help you get thru them. Just post and vent. Luv, Suzy. :blush: ;)

Well thank you for responding. I took Zoloft for 1 year and it worked great. after 6-7 months of being off of it my anxiety and panic came back. I think Zoloft worked a little bit better for me than the paxil has been BUT all meds take different times with different people. I TOTALLY notice a difference than having NOTHING at all!!!! I started with 12.5mg of paxil for 2-3 weeks but that didn't help much. I am now on 25mg and i too see my therapist on wednesday. When I was on Zoloft after about 1.5 months i was excited to stay home alone. I can't say I feel excited about it now, but I don't dread having to go to the post office or grocery store. My boyfriend is always with me but before I HAD to be by his side and I would rush him out of the store. I couldn't stand in line I would FREAK OUT my heart would race and I would get dizzy. None of that happens anymore. So I see a slow improvemnet which is better than NO improvmet. If I get hot I usually go outside. It is usually cold here and we don't get a lot of HOT summer days so I guess I am lucky there!!! Good luck with the ice in the summer LOL Thanks for the reply!!! Vicky

Hi, I started Paxil on Jan. 22nd this year. I am only on 10 mg's right now. I started SLOW. I took 2.5 mg's the first week, 5 mg's the second week, and so on. I see my doc Wed. and I will see about upping the dose slowly as I need more as I am noticing some changes, but the anxiety is still pretty bad. I think your post is so encouraging to someone new to Paxil, like me. :) Thank you for taking the time to share. :) I think it is SO wonderful that you can go out and do things alone now - on 25 mg's...I cannot do those things yet but I sure hope to soon, perhaps in a few months when I am on 20 mg's - 30 mg's. I get nausea from Paxil...but the past few days I did not have it...YIPPPEEEE I was worried I might need to switch to Zoloft or another SSRI...hopefully NOT. I so want this to work as it has worked for you!! I get more sweaty now then I did before Paxil...it is a side effect my pharmacist told me. What I do is I carry a little ice pack with me and I put it in my coat pocket (I don't know how I will get around this one in the Summer w/no coat pocket, LOL) and it helps my hands when they sweat. Anxiety makes my hands/feet sweat too. It is uncomfortable but not dangerous at all. Sure ask your doctor if you can up your dose. Some people are on 30 mg' - 40 mg's and doing wonderfully I have read. :) Take care, Michelle

Hi I take 25mg of paxil. I have been taking it for about 6-7 weeks now. No side effects for me I happen to think it is working pretty good. I used to have a hard time going to stores or to peoples houses!!!! Now I can wander around a grocery store alone and leave the house. BUT sometimes when I wake up and nobody is home I feel nervous. My feet sweat and my palms do too. If I know someone is going to be gone it does not worry me as much. My question is..do I need a higher dose, a different med or should I just try to focus harder on other things? I do not get panic attacks when I am alone I just feel nervous and scared that I don't know how long I will be alone for!!!
