If Paxil gave you agitation, you would have been far better off changing to a different SSRI.

There is absoulety no way any doctor should give you this stuff. I don't know which of these two doctors is worse. Risperdal, Abilify & Geodon should all be tried before Haldol, but really, you should change away from Paxil. Did you tell your current doc that Paxil causes agitation?
