Maybe wrong med: Sometimes when a person has a mild form of a bipolar disorder and they are given an anti-depressant medication it can cause them to be manic. Or it could be you do have the unipolar disorder but that Paxil (paroxetine) is causing adverse reaction and the medication needs to be changed.

No: Paxil (paroxetine) side effects can included nervousness, tremors and dizziness. These side effects may seem like a loss of focus or concentration (ADHD) and contribute to the reported anticipatory anxiety. Go back to the doctor and discuss the best course of action, medication change or dosage change. Talk therapy will help a lot as well. Good Luck!
