My nurse just gave me several samples of "Pexava" its Paxil under a new name with a longer half-life. I use to take Paxil 3 years ago, it caused weight gain but I felt so much better, she said if I promised to exercise and not overeat I should do well. The Zoloft was not helping it made me feel like I was taking speed and was actually increasing panic. I do not know if this is the answer? I know meds do not do it all, I know Paxil calmed me, I also heard sometimes meds do not work the same after you stop then resume sometime later, what I do know is that I want to live a normal life, I will always have high anxiety and I even would live with a panic attack once a week, but several times in one day was so terrible. Has anyone heard of this form of Paxil? I so hope this well help me get well again. Debbie.
