I had an extreme reaction to Paxil much like the one you described. I'm now (patiently?) awaiting benefits from Lexapro. I applaud your high level of functionality, as taking an advanced degree is quite difficult for most anyone. Despite my current issues with unpleasant side effects, I would not support the notion that AD's are a "swindle" of any kind. I know that many people here have had good results on them. I feel the trick is in finding the right medication or combination of medications and dosages to suit you personally. I would like to add that I do feel somewhat guilty for being so negative about them in my own previous posts. I think that many of us are struggling to find the right drug or combination ourselves and through the unpleasant parts of that process we let our negative emotions show through. Please don't be discouraged. I know that (for me) reading even the negative posts reminds me that I'm not alone in this process and I do hope we all find the balance we need in our lives with help from these medications. Good luck to you.
