2nd Paxil Update - In a Crisis
September 17, 2026··
Feeling in a crisis. Been having bouts of depression, anxiety, dizziness, depersonalization, and rage.
I went back to 15 mg like adviced by my doctor yesterday. But in the last days i’ve been really critical. Can’t get out of bed especially in the morning until around 3pm. Anxiety symptoms are very high and then I get really depressed and feel like i can’t add one more hour in this world (sorry thats very disturbing). I went to the mental health center and talked and they put me on Mirtazapine so i can sleep and eat. Idk how things are going to be but im very pessimistic right now.
