This started due to a relapse of a depressive state kicking my ass in the winter. Perhaps from drug burn out?
I have been on paxil for over 16 years, 40mg, and I am wondering if any one else has tried or been prescribed to take it at 2 different times during the day? 20mg in the morning and 20mg at night for example. I started doing this several years ago and I thought it served my mental state a bit better. Then recently (after finally getting a doctor) was told that drug should be taken once a day. So I switched back to once a day about 6 weeks ago and along with working up to 10mg of Abilify 5.5weeks ago, the combination is a major anxiety struggle with definite side effect of some akinesia. Always restless feeling.
My house is like one big unfinished reno project and ends up just triggering the anxious crap out of me. I keep trying and doing things, but it's an struggle every second of the day. I guess I am wondering now that I am taking the paxil once a day, if anyone has experienced anything similar and if it's probable I am in a new burn-in period for both drugs?
