Is that normal? I'm on 8th day of Paxil 10mg. Going to 20mg starting tomorrow. I have also been taking clonazepam (klonopin) .25mg twice a day. Some days I feel great while others I feel horrible. I have really bad anxiety right now...

Give the meds time to kick in consistently. : )

If you felt bad all the time, I'd say Paxil isn't right for you. Since, sometimes you feel ok, I'd say it's just a function of the anxiety/depression you have. When I was helped by Lexapro, it took a few weeks before the med fully kicked in to change the brain chemicals. Until then, I had good days/bad days which was just a function of the funk I was in. Like guitar1 says, be patient and give it a chance.

Thats what I figured.. was just freaking out wishing I had never started on meds in the first place.I guess I wanted some reassurance. Eventually the anxiety subsided and I ended up feeling better.
