I am doing well even with the massage therapy on my neck and the EEG and MRI ordered to find out more about my headaches.
Still taking only 10mg of paroxetine and suffer moments of anxiety on a limited basis. Emotional upset and some activities before bed and eating chocolate after 5 pm are two noticable things that make me restless. I might fall asleep for a few hours...then I am wide awake.
I am adjusting to the new awake me...it seems that when I get my walking in (1-2 miles) over the course of the day, I am more alert. But when I get tired, I crash and that might be as early as 8 pm.
Weaning off the Paxil has been an eye-opening experience. I am much more aware of trying to watch my moods and working on the funky ones immediately. There is no quick fix for behavior modification...it is practise and more practise. I do not want to rely on a pill to make me behave differently.
If I can't handle the next weaning stage, I will ask the doctor for more help with the drug he has talked about. I will not play the martyr for the rest of my life. I want to be reasonable happy!
