Medication

[busymama2]

This is my second attempt at trying an anxiety medication. The first time didn’t go very well and I gave up on it. I am starting off with 10mg of Paxil, so small dose. I feel like crap, worse then normal. I wake up anxious in the am and the last couple days I feel so off(vertigo feeling). Anyone else have these issues? Do the aide effects go away? It’s only been a week since I started the medication.

Hi! I am on my second attempt with Paxil also and I have felt much worse my anxiety is back and I have panic attacks in the middle of the night and a few days ago vertigo. I have been drinking lots of water and my doctor had me take them every other day to slowly get it back in my system. My vertigo did go away after 3 days and I did have to start eating better because I was skipping meals due to anxious feeling even if it’s something small like a piece of fruit try and eat and drink water a lot and less to no caffeine. Hugs to you hope you feel better soon and the medicine kicks in fast!

Thank you. My anxiety has been worse since starting the medication, my dr said to give it two weeks and hopefully the side effects will go away. Just tense all day and can’t sleep at night. Why do you have to feel worse to feel better?
