Also, I had two years of hell trying different meds, I had such a bad time on the starting dose I never got as far as increasing the dose. However after 2 years the doc decided to try me again on Seroxat only straight away at a double dosage and it seemed to do the trick. Well it's helping anyway. I seemed to have more horrible side effects on a lower dose than I do on a higher dose.

Denise,What kind of side effects did you have on the Seroxat (paxil)? When I took it, I started at a low dose but my anxiety increased badly. I could never stand it for more than 3 weeks before giving up. Maybe a higher dose would have avoided this?
