A member asked:

How can i treat anxiety disorder i take paxil (paroxetine) from 3 years but it doesn't help me i did every thing but i cant treat my anxiety deppresion please help ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Paxil (paroxetine) – again!..: Paxil (paroxetine) may actually CAUSE anxiety. "Jittery" feeling has been described with many drugs of this class; they are often prescribed inappropriately by non-psychiatrists. There are MANY ways to treat anxiety, and MANY ways to treat depression; the treatment must be individual and very specific for your type of condition.
