Trying to get an emergency appt. for tomorrow at a local walk-in clinic to hopefully get a refill. This happens to me all the time, same symptoms, and always waiting until I'm empty for awhile and feeling like shit before I do anything about it.
Did I mention one of the side effects of Paxil is complacency?
Two questions.
1) Are you on Paxil or Paxil-CR? If you're not on the time-release CR, get on it now! That helped me immensely.
2) What other medications are you on.
I was on Paxil and Depakote for quite a while for manic depression. Getting the right dosage, and monitoring other factors which affect your biochemistry is an ongoing challenge. In fact, that's a big part of why I closed my consultancy down and went looking for a job where I wasn't the end-all, be-all of the business model. But that's another story altogether.
