clonazepam... or paxil (paroxetine) for anxiety?
okay swim went to treatment in california for three months. swim has already been on suboxone and clonazepam for a while. anyways while swim was down there he found a suboxone doctor who prescribed the suboxone and 18mg of clonazepam a day. 6mg morning, 6mg afternoon, 6mg evening. swim knows thats a lot. he was on that for three months. anyways swim came back and just saw his doctor he was seeing before he left. he prescribed swim 1mg of clonazepam twice a day! wtf! that does absolutely nothing. he also prescribed paxil! swim doesn't know enough about that stuff to just start taking it. swim doesn't know what to do. swim is assuming his doctor is thinking the paxil will eventually work, get rid of the anxiety, and stop the clonazepam. swim does not like that idea. he has heard of the side effects of it and all that. and why on earth would swim want to start something like that when he already has a perfectly good anxiolytic that works great for him and has for a long time. and he has no depression. so swim wants to avoid that road. any advice for swim? anyone took paxil for anxiety? swim gets anxiety just thinking about this. btw he mainly has social anxiety but has GAD and panic dissorder as well. seems to be hereditary.
