Paxil and increace in anxiety

[chinook2]

Has anyone experienced an increase in anxiety as you first started taking Paxil? It was under control with bupropion and lamictal but I still did not feel like the depression was lifted. doc suggested going off of bupropion and switch to paxil. It has been 11 days. still taking the bupropion 150 and lamictal 100 but have had to start taking a lot more klonopin because to the rise in anxiety and I don't like taking this.

well I am weening off or the bup. down to 75 will quit this week

On 40 Paxil and 100 lamictal. Klonopin only when I need which I haven't in the last few days. so it looks like the paxil is kicking in, BUT I don"t like what I have read about Paxil. I may see about switching to lexpro

This is confusing to answer -- it sounds like you're adding Paxil to your other three meds.  Any anti-depressant can cause increased anxiety -- actually the bupropion is more likely to do this than Paxil, but any can do it, but if you're on four different meds it may just be overload.  I have heard wellbutrin being added to ssris, but I haven't heard much about doing it the other way around.  And why Paxil and not Prozac or Lexapro?  Lots of questions here.  Sounds like your main problem, from the meds you're on, has been diagnosed as depression, not anxiety.  True?  If so, you might get better help on the depression forum.
