Hey Magdalena - Hang in there! I'm on Lex not Pax, but I imagine they are similar in that a takes a few weeks for your body to adjust to the meds. Give it some time - increased anxiety at the beginning has been reported by everyone on this board! Just go easy on yourself and realize it is just a stage you have to go through to get to the good part :-)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>i just started taking paxil this week after
suffering with anxiety and depression (from the anxiety) for 5 years, Im 23. I thought i could 'get over it' on my own but instead i became secluded and avoid a million places and developed a few phobias instead. i am on day 4 of paxil and feel a little 'off'. The thing is on day 3 of taking these meds i had a REALLY bad anxiety attack at work but had to stay there cause i cant just leave work. This feeling was so bad its been at least 3 years since i had one so bad, does anyone know if its because of the paxil?
