Phillipa,
I had the same type of response as you to Paxil. It was a great AD for me, and I regret that I stopped taking it. I should have stayed on a small maintenance dose to prevent a relapse. When I was on Paxil, I did not suffer fatigue or apathy, and the only weight I gained was the weight from finally starting to eat like a normal person again. I even took my 20mg first thing in the morning. I wish it had worked for me when I tried it a second time.

> I too took paxil but only l0mg as my anxiety was so bad the pdoc said it would overstimulate me. Then he had me on xanax too. I lost wt on the paxil. Was working and eating well. Heck we snacked on cheese and crackers all evening. I also had a lot of energy and loved my job. This is one of the reasons that makes me question whether happiness and fullment in life work better than meds. Thinking a lot lately. Fondly, Phillipa
