I felt like that as well and that is what caused me to seek out treatment. I don't think I would have ever encountered any longterm, although who knows for sure, depressive illness had I not taken paxil for an off-label purpose and tried desperately to get off of it because I didn't want to be tied to it forever and those desperate attempts left me feeling how you describe.
The only thing thus far that has helped me was Nortriptyline. Probably desiprimine as well. But nothing like Nortriptyline. I went off of it because of a 22lb. weight gain in 9 months.
I may have to take it again. We'll see.
I completely understand what your talking about. You are not alone. Keep asking and investigating until you get some results.
Best wishes,
Laney
