Thanks so much for the response. I am not committed to a very small dose, I had been on 50mg and the only real difference between the low dose I am on now and the high dose I was on for quite a few months is that I am not as tired and sluggish. So, I don't particularly want to use a high dose if there has been no therapeutic advantage for me. There are days that I don't take it (sometimes two or three in a row) and, again, there is no difference in how I feel. And, although I would not say I am depressed, I certainly am not as enthusiastic or outgoing as I normally am.

I am on Paxil CR right now, which I have heard is somewhat different than regular Paxil. I had a great response to regular Paxil a number of years ago. Unfortunately, when I tried it again, even after titrating up to a decent dose (I think it may also have been 50mg) and after 3 months, I had no response. If regular Paxil would work again, I would just ask to go from the CR to the regular because Paxil, for me, was great.

Thanks again. Your views are much appreciated.
