After about 3 months of this I’m done! The last time health anxiety hit me hard was 3 years ago and taking Paxil about 6 months cleared it. My health anxiety manifests very physically which makes it all worse and I panic. The worst is when you can’t sleep. I’m taking a lower dose of Paxil this time to start (10 mg) as it is pretty sedating and it’s always best to see if you can get good results on the least amount possible. Was wondering if anyone here has ever started an SSRI for their healthy anxiety? I tried Prozac at first because I heard you don’t gain weight with that one, but my anxiety went through the roof and I had complete and total insomnia.
