My pdoc just added Tegretol to my Paxil. Has anyone ever heard of this combination. He indicated that Tegretol actually administered some ssri actions. He said we would give this a try. The next option is either Klonopin or EMSAM. All I want to get rid of is social anxiety and generalized anxiety. My first dose was last night and this morning I experienced elevated anxiety. Is this somewhat normal for this medication. Also, I am very sensitive to meds in general. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks - Everybody keep up the outstanding feedbacks and questions.

Same as trileptal without the extra oxygen molecule for me no side effects at all on l50mg of trileptal which is a low dose. Love Phillipa

Thanks Phillipa - What is trileptal and what is it used for. Do you think it will help with SAD? That is all I am trying to accomplish. Even though this would be a huge accomplishment for everyone. Please keep responding to this board, no matter what anyone else says. If this doesn't work, would you try EMSAM or add Klonopin. I am not too excited about all of the sedation side effects.

Thanks trileptal is a mood stabalizer. I know the low dose I took didn't cause additional axiety. Only took l50mg low dose very expensive as no drug plan at the time. I can't take klonopin made me feel suicidal and I wasn't. I think a small dose of another benzo or the klonopin could help your Sad . Have heard that lyrica helps with anxiety at low doses, depression, and energ at high doses. Must google it again as want to discuss this with the pdoc this week. Love Phillipa
