Feeling strange

[Allanabea]

Hi after much umming and arring decided to increase paroxetine by 5 mg from 10. Feeling bit odd!like I'm on the edge of losing control.... If I've been on this dose and higher before for anxiety then chances are it'll settle down soon ?? Right?? Only been doing it 2 days!!!! Help

Hi,

Sounds familiar. I experienced same thing when i increaseed dose in past. Try not to panic, do something that calms you down and it'll pass. Your body needs to get used to increase of meds, even if you have taken higher dose in past. if you dont feel better in couple of days go see your doc, just to put your mind at rest.

Hi,

I agree with Pia...give it time and it should settle...time is the essence with these meds.

Take care and feel better soon.
