> Well I'm going to see a psychiatrist for the first time in about a year and a half. Recently I was just going to my regular doctor and having him prescribe me Effexor XR because I've been taking the same dose for so long. Needless to say, I'm not doing too well on the Effexor XR at 150 MG anymore and I need something else. I will inquire about Paxil as a possibility of a new medication to take. What neurotransmitters does Paxil touch upon......just Serotonin correct? I never responded to Prozac in the past or Lexapro (I tried it for a couple months about 2 years ago. I immediately went back to Effexor Xr for the lack of success with Lexapro.) Well who knows...........

Hi
>
> I went straight onto paxil while coming off celexa
> I've tried all SSri's except luvox . Paxil so far is the only med that has quietned my mind and stopped wiered behaviour but it makes me sleepy and somewhat dumb..but I'd rather have a quiet head.
> Effexor was a great drug but only sometimes-
> I felt euphoric for a while then depressed..then it stopped doing anything.
> I always started a new SSRI to wean off another..my brains pretty messed up with constant change.
> I think some people need more than one med cause of partial response . Myself , paxil is good for ocd , neurontin for anxiety/irritability just need to find something for my depression.
> Maybe you could try starting low dose paxil while reducing effexor?
