> I know what you mean. Celexa may be worth a try. I used to take it and found it relieves anxiety without causing an unnecessary increase in the activity of other neurotransmitters, though it has a different effect on each individual.
> Do you also suffer from symptoms of depression or mainly from anxiety? Have you ever tried a beta blocker? Just a thought...
>My main problem is anxiety, though I have some episodes of depression that I think are mainly due to frustration about the anxiety...I mentioned the beta-blocker to my primary care doc and she vetoed it without even discussing it. I guess I should ask my psych. about it. My sister takes a beta blocker for migraine prevention and has noticed a definite calming effect. Maybe it's worth a try. I'd prefer that over another antidepressant if possible after the paxil fiasco. Thanks for the advice.
