> Hi,
> This is just my humble opinion, but I would stay at 50 mgs which is a high dose of Paxil. See how you feel. It may be just the right dose. It's always better to go with the lowest working dose because of side effects. I had been on 20 mgs of Paxil a few years ago. I hope you stay level during your next period.
> JoyHow long does Paxil take to kick in for depression, or social/regular anxiety? Maybe three weeks? I tried it once for a few days, but quit over insomnia. Now I have Ambien, so I'm not worried... mmm... does it help energy levels?
My doc refuses to give me Sraterra, because it's "been out for less than three years." So I'm on Desoxyn and Klonopin, but my depression is making my ADD really bad and I don't respond to Desoxyn like I use to... now I understand why doctors have concluded stimulants were a bad idea to use as monotherapy for depression back in the 60's....
I still feel low energy levles, lethargy, things you'd ordinarily snap out of within 30 minutes of a low dose before I got depressed.
