Hi,
Sorry you are not feeling too good. I am just trying to understand your regime:So in hospital you were on:
Zyprexa 5mg,
Clonazepam 0.5mg
Sodium valproate 500mg.
No Paxil, right?And then you were fine for a month.
Then your pdoc:
Removed the clonazepam 0.5mg
Replaced it with Paxil 20 mg instead
But he left everything else alone, right?I'm just trying to understand so that I don't say anything too dumb..
I'm not sure what is happening but I can say that;
If your doctor removed you from the clonazepam quickly then that itself can explain the increased anxiety.
I assume he re-added the Paxil for depression (and also for underlying anxiety) but it will take time to work (maybe 2 weeks at the least)While you are waiting it out you can definitely try online therapy. (hopefully she is not too expensive)
You always have the option of posting here or if you want on the psychology board for support in the interim. I have never been there myself but this is the link: http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/psycho/Are you looking out for some BPD support groups? Or only a personal therapist.
I hope something helps and do report on how you are feeling
Take care
With love
