Anxiety treatment : You do not mention your dose of Paxil (paroxetine) daily. Depending on which anxiety disorder your doctor is treating you for the maximum recommended dose is 50 or 60mg/day. Before adding new medications i would suggest you talk to your prescribing doctor as you can add 10mg/week until you get to the maximum dose.

For GAD, BuSpar (buspirone): Buspar (buspirone) works on its own in gad. If you do not have depression, then you may be able to come off the Paxil and just use the Buspar (buspirone) for gad. I always dose this conservatively: Buspar (buspirone) 5mg twice a day for one week, the 10mg twice a day for one week then 15 mg twice a day after that. I hope you feel better soon. Håper du vil føle deg bedre! (i love your city. My relatives came from south of oslo.).

Add Buspar (buspirone): Buspar (buspirone) is indicated for anxiety and wellbutrin is often activating and may may anxiety worse.
