Not sure what to do next? Advice Needed

Posted by denise1966 on October 5, 2005, at 3:37:45

Ok, I'm pretty sure that this Paxil (been on it two weeks) is not working as it had pretty much stopped working when I came off it about three months ago.

Although it's helping a bit, I feel that awful numbness, lack of motivation, poor concentration, difficulty listening, reading etc. Tense jaw, a lot of pressure in my chest, like I'm suffocating etc etc, I took 15mg of Remeron last night and that seemed to help a little but not a lot.

I have an appointment with a new Psychiatrist on the NHS in probably over a month and I'm not sure what direction to try and steer him/her in.

Not sure what to do either:-

Ask him to add a stimulant and a thyroid hormone (but I doubt that they'll go for that).

Switch to another SSRI completely and go on a high dose.

Switch to another SSRI and augment it with a stimulant or thyroid hormone.

Switch to Remeron or Effexor (high dose)

Ask him to add Naltrexone or Pindolol to the Paxil.

I get sick of this, all this trying and waiting, whilst my life just whittles away.

Well at least I have Zyprexa, that's one thing but God Forbid it ever stops helping.

Anyone have any suggestions.


Kind Regards....Denise
