> Penny, Just curious as to the side effect problems you had at higher doses of Paxil? Thanks for you feedback.
I went up to 80 mgs of Paxil. The side effects for me were mostly loss of appetite, anxiety, tremor & insomnia. Very frustrating. I had a brief positive response, but it didn't last and my pdoc at the time thought the answer was to raise the dose, despite my complaining about side-effects. My new pdoc explained to me how more is not necessarily better in the case of Paxil.Best wishes with your switch.
