A little background, after my son was born I started having daily panic attacks. They were awful!! My doctor put me on 20mg. of Paxil and it got much better. I have been on the Paxil for 8 years now and for the past 4 years it has been wonderful, almost normal. I would say within the last 3 years I've had maybe 2 or 3 full blown attacks.
Well at my last Dr's appt. my Dr. switched me from my regular Paxil to Paxil CR. Well that was about 3 weeks ago and the panic is full force again for the first time in years. During this time my grandmother has also had a stroke, but my father passed away while I was on the regular Paxil and I handled it well anxiety wise.
I feel awful, dizziness, nausea, headache, shaky etc. I even want to run to the Emergency Room although I have had every test possible.
Can anyone help or give me advice?? The reason my Dr. switched me he said is because eventually the Paxil CR is all that will be available.
