Im 19 years old and a student. I was sexually as a child by three different members of my family. Due to this I have developed post traumatic stress disorder. I also have social phobia and major depression that I have had for all of my life. I started 20 mg paxil in june of 2000 it really helped my anxiety and social phobia but it also induced a hypomanic effect. I was also smoking mrarijuana at the time so i'm not sure if this triggered it. My symptoms on it were dialated pupils, racing thoughts, diarhea, and jaw clenching. I felt the best on it I have ever had. Like I coud take on anything. Like I had so much confidence and self esteem. I also had no sex drive and no ability to orgasm. After a severe case of psychosis and a breif hospital stay I was forced to come off of the paxil. Then I switched to wellbutrin which helped me quit smoking and helped my sex drive and ablilty to orgasm but made me very nauseous and anxious with headaches and didn't do much for any of my symptoms. I told my doctor I didnt like it as much as the paxil so she switched to celexa. I have been on it now for 24 days. My Dr. increased my dosage five days ago to 30 mg from 20mg. I still don't feel as good as I did on the paxil but better than the wellbutrin and I still can achieve orgasm. My doctor said if this one doesn't work we can try zoloft. I think I want to try the zoloft. She is on vacation and will be back on tuesday. That will be my third monthy mark. I was wondering if a month on a med should be enough time to see if it works for you. Has anyone else been on the same meds or had any experience with same meds? Please any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou
