<<I am still ( its over 2 months) somewhat anxious
on Zoloft this time around...and maybe Paxil would be a better fit for me.
I am a very anxious personm even on 50mg Zoloft
AND 3mg of Xanax a day...so if Paxil is sedating
and helps with Social Phobia ( my other Big Problem) maybe I will give it a try.

Thanks for answering :-) From all the research I have done, Paxil is often said to be the king of the SSRIs for social phobia and panic. But for some it is very hard to get off of, difficult withdrawals. If the 3 mgs of Xanax is not holding you you may consider Klonopin, about 2 mgs or Valium, maybe 30 mgs. The longer half-life versions are sometimes better, more stable. If you are in the U.S., docs seem to be more eager to prescribe Klonopin.
