Question: what experiences have you had while taking paxil
Answers: what experiences have you had while taking paxil
It's common for insomnia, anxiety and even agitation to accompany depression. It could be that Paxil is not treating your symptoms. It's also possible that Paxil is just not a good med for you. Since you are asking, I assume this excitement is beyond what you consider recovery from depression, so there is something else to consider. Antidepressants occasionally unmask underlying bipolar disorders since those with the illness typically cannot take antidepressants without ending up some form of manic, hypomanic (subthreshhold manic), or severely agitated (hypo/manic and depressed). Below is a link on bipolar type II that you might want to look over. Whatever it is, see you doctor soon. If the same happens on another antidepressant, see a psychiatrist who specializes in mood disorders. Bipolar disorder is a progressive illness left untreated. If you do have it, you're life in the long run will be much better treating sooner rather than later.
