I don't know if I'm posting in the right place.
Abotu 9 years ago I had a doctor place me on Paxil, he said I seemed to have some anxiety. (I was in to see him becuase I kept getting horrible tonsilitis which he recognized 5 years later and had me see a sepcialist to have them removed). I took the Paxil as he directed and never really thought anything of it, I was just doing what the doctor said was best. Over the years I have gained a lot of weight and tried to go off of Paxil several times but it makes me too ill.
In the last year, I feel like something is not working as it did. I am negative all of the time although I dont' want to be, and I am angry all of the time. Little things get me upset. I am not a violent person, but when something upsets me I can't quit thinking about it. Things like repairs around the house, or things that I can't control I get worrying on. I went to the doctor and she said the Paxil may not be working any more. I was on 20 mg daily of Paxil, she put me on 20 mg daily of Celexa and also prescribed me Xanex to take as needed.
I have been on the Celexa for 3 weeks now and am not feeling any different at all. I am not sure what to do. I don't like how I get and want it to stop. I just get in these moods where every little thing makes me mad or irritates me and then I might get going on a rant of negativity that just drives people crazy.
When I get in these moods I also get depressed easily as well, I just feel like theres no point in trying any more.
What is wrong with me?? I never had issues growing up and looking back wonder if the Paxil did not maybe have a reversed effect on me? Either way I have to deal with this now, but don't know how.
