    Those two drugs are very powerful stimulants !  Can't you try to get off of those doing something else ?

      do a search on those 2 drugs and see the adverse side effects and then you will understand why you are so anxious .

    Hi deanna,

                      I am sorry you are feeling bad right now. Ihope things will turn around for you soon. I am in a similar situation  increasing my paxil from 30 to40 mgs after 16 years on 30mgs. I am not feeling great myself. There is always  hope that in time the meds will work. Hang in there and don't be afraid to contact your doc.Maybe yoou can go off the buspar.

      Hi deannna,

        Just hang in there you are  safe. You might want to ask your doctor about not taking the buspar. I have taken that before and it caused problems. Maybe it would be better  for you to just take the paxil. You will be ok no matter what you decide. Stay strong.

    You will be fine, you both will, we all will, it is a blip a nasty blip, but a blip coming off and going on is going to take a bit of time to get used to.  Paxil has a short life so after coming off of it you can experience some really nasty effects, then you tried a different one inbetween, which again would of caused some reaction, now you are back on it and another drug to the mix, so you are going to experience something. however you will get better you will I promise you.  Go back to your dctor and tell them how you feel.  You know the Paxil has helped before, so it will but will take its time  ask for a different anti anxiety medication to take in the interim period xxxx
