The Journey Continues--Making some progress

I haven't posted since December.  I've seen 5 doctors since then who have don a dozen or so tests.  Unbelievable as it sounds, four of them were stumped.  The week long EEG didn't show anything abnormal.  I've seen an internal medicine doctor, neurologist, epileptologist, neuropsychologist, and the last one is a doctor of internal medicine knowledgeble in neurology and also a psychiatrist.  The neuropsychologist and epileptologist thought this guy might be able to piece everything together.  I gave this new Dr  the reports from the extensive tests from the neuropsychologist which included his diagnosis plus the summaries from the other doctors.  I was a bit worried because, in addtion to the absence seizures, I found my memory deteriorating, I had lost my ability to multi-task (which I used to do very well) and my ability to focus.  My motor function in some areas had declined to well below average--my movements had slowed considerably.  My ability to process information had seriously declined as well.  Everything at work had become nearly totally overwhelming.  It has taken so much effort to try to focus that at the end of the day, I was depleted.  I also have fibromyalgia but it hasn't been the active at this time.  I have told my Primary Dr that I don't like how I feel on Paxil, 25 mg daily.  He reduced me to 20 mg daily but I still wanted off it because I felt disconnected from my emotions.  I could feel happy but more in my mind than in my heart or gut.  I could feel agitated but not truly angry.  I don't think that is healthy.  The Keppra has stopped the migraine headaches and I haven't had any seizure-like activity but my other mental and motor abilities continued to decline.  This new Dr told me he wouldn't give Paxil to ANYONE!  He says its more trouble than its worth and he's weaning me off it and on to Cymbalta.  I should be completly off the Paxil and totally on the Cymbalta (60mg) by Friday.  Already, the fog is lifting.  I can think faster and more clearly.  I can move without feeling I'm wading through molasses--I'm faster.  This new Dr says I'm suffering from Major Depressive Disorder meeting 6 of the symptoms out of a possible 9.  But, he feels some of them could have been due in part to the Paxil and once he has me feeling better and functioning normally again, we'll address the possible seizures.   He's not sure what they might be but thinks that the Paxil may have intensified whatever was going on confusing things.  So, it seems my new Doc agrees with me--Paxil is no good for me and its not healthy for me to not be able to feel anything because I have nothing to process and work through to solutions emotionally and mentally.  I guess I'm rambling again, but so much has happened and I am finally feeling hopeful because I'm actually starting to feel better.  But I'm afraid to feel hopeful after years of decline and new problems cropping up.  Has anyone else had an experience like mine and find a solution to get some positive results?  Thanks for "listening."
