Nibor
Thanks for your suggestions. I had a nervous breakdown in June and my doctor told me not to look for a therapist until my medication was under control. I am still working on that part. I am only on 100 mg/day, so I have a ways to go yet. The anxiety is always sitting in my stomach just waiting for something to stir it up. The Xanax is addicting, so I try not to take it unless I absolutely need it. As far as Paxil goes, my mom is on it and doesn't like it and I have heard many bad things about withdrawal from Paxil. I would just prefer to not take anything at all. I don't know what to do. I better give Serzone a try though. I also read something about Remeron. It said that if you increase the done from 30 mg to 45 mg it will diminish the appetite. I could always try that to. Thank you. >

> What has helped me for anxiety is paxil. I take 20 mg. every morning; I have heard it keeps people awake when taken late in the day. I never have problems falling asleep (well, maybe once in a great while when I get overtired).
> There are the usual side effects in the libido area, and I do have more vivid, action-oriented dreams, but I think that's about it.
> Have you ever taken paxil? Also, and very important, do you have a therapist you like?
> Take care of yourself.

I am now starting Serzone and taking Xanax for the anxiety. Sometimes I feel incompacitated and I feel that my family is paying for it. I just don't know what to do. The anxiety is driving me crazy. I've never had any problems like this before and I don't know what to do. I do pray for help, but it just seems like the minutes don't pass fast enough.
