Hey,
I'm currently on day six of taking 10 mg of Paxil, plus I've been taking 0.5 mg of Xanax twice a day—once in the morning and once at night. Before starting this regimen, my main symptoms were physical tension in my back, neck, and legs, along with a tendency toward emotional outbursts, crying, and just feeling heavy with sadness. My question is: while some of those symptoms have subsided, I’m experiencing this strange, intense nervousness and irritability. Could this be related to my body adjusting to the Paxil? Also, according to the side effects listed in the pamphlet, it's almost as if the world starts spinning in reverse the moment you swallow one of these pills.
