In reply to Paxil and Anxiety, posted by house on July 30, 2002, at 13:04:56

>I've tried all the SSRI's(except paxil), a couple of tri's and nardil. Paxil is my last hope of treating, treatment resistant GAD/Social Anxiety and mild OCD disorders. Can anyone relate or give a success story regarding paxil and anxiety, it would be much appreciated. Make one up if you have to(just joking) thanks, House

As someone with panic disorder and agoraphobia (can't get much more anxious than that) I found none of the SSRI's to be helpful - actually made everything much, much worse. The MAOI's were a God send. I started first on Nardil and for the first time in my life felt normal. I eventually switched to Parnate. I attempted to get back on Parnate just last week (after a 4 yr. break with few symptoms) and responded adversely to it physically. I'm on my way to the doc to try Nardil again. How long did you try it? Would you consider other MAOI's? Although they're not as popular and don't have the big pharmaceutical companies promoting them I believe they do the best job for anxiety disorders. They also work wonders on the phobic response as well.
Good Luck
Lisa
