Hi! What a horrible way to feel. I have had days like that too!
I see 2 ways to look at it:
You're at the 5 week mark and many report increased agitation and anxiety at that time. Can you wait it out a week?The other way to see it is:
What do you have to lose by increasing? I'm sure your counselor is more of an expert than any of us since she's dealt with more people in our shoes!I forget if you're taking anything for anxiety. Maybe increase that first?
Hang in there, you will get through this and brighter days are coming. I can't believe how different I am now vs. even 9 weeks ago. My best friend wrote me an email this morning and said "Lynne, I really think you're back and I'm so glad. I missed you!" It brought tears to my eyes! You will get there too and we are here for you with whatever happens on your trip :-)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>hey all...i have been panicky for days...feel like i dont know where i am or what im doing, like im losing it! my pdoc is on vacation as i said and i was reluctant to go to 20mgs or even 15 as her covering md suggested...but i talked to my therapist today (i see a social worker and the pdoc just for medicine) and she said she thinks that the paxil is finally all out of my system (was on it 8 yrs to recap, and been on lex 5 weeks). she says maybe thats why im panicking...just dont have enough meds in the system and that i SHOULD go to 15. keep in mind shes not an md but she does know a lot about this stuff.
