Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Anyone taking it? My anxiety is currently managed via a combo of klonopin and Xanax, but the situations that are contributing to my anxiety are not subsiding. Instead of continuing to increase my Klonopin to 2mg at night, my psychiatrist suggested I start Paxil. One 10mg in morning when I first wake up.
Will it interfere with my sleep? That's my main worry. I am already taking 1.5mg of klonopin at night and not sleeping through the night. Then I take one .5 mg of klonopin during day. But I cry all time trying to cope with my issues, still feel depressed at times and when I do wake up in middle of night my mind is RACING.
My psychiatrist said that Paxil is low on side effects and will help me reduce my reliance on klonopin and Xanax. Anyone use it?
Any advice appreciated.

Side affects I had on Paxil: Weight gain, tired, increased sweating and low sex drive. But I didn't care. It was a small price to pay for the anxiety attacks to disappear. And they did disappear for me. It was wonderful. :-)
