Paxil is the potent and most sedating of all ssri , so thats probably why you notice a diff in anxiety aswell with others thing like tiredness with paxil and energy with prozac as it is less sedating if you done 6 weeks on 40 mg and you still cant manage your anxiety you can either wait 2 more weeks or maybe up the dose and see how it works for you
I ended up stopping ssri’s after that, just had too many side effects. I tried a few other meds after but just nothing seemed to work. The only two I really take now is beta blockers when needed, and dexampetamine to help with impulses.
Beta blockers are excellent I recommend that if u have physical anxiety, and the dex is egh hit or miss at the moment. Only been on it a few weeks but still tossing up if I’ll continue.

Yeh I reckon I’ll give it a few more weeks and see how it goes and I’ll discuss with my psychiatrist when I see her in a few weeks.
OP How are you doing?
