Thank you for posting this. As someone going on Paxil (day 5) and struggling with intense anxiety/depression every morning, I really appreciated reading someone

  You are very welcome. My advice (even though you didn't ask for it) is let the Paxil do it's thing for a while then start implementing exercise and nutritional adjustments into your routine once you are feeling normalized. Treat it like an A/B test if you can. Think about the long term and try to find a routine that will work for you consistently. If you find something, talk to your doctor about coming off the medication to see if your routine continues to help without the meds. Make sure you only do it with the support of your doctor though, the with drawl from Paxil can be enough to put you back into a depression. From what I recall it wasn't too pleasant. Good luck!

  Start going to yoga classes regularly. Bikram yoga is a good routine (the same 26 postures every class, over 90 minutes, in a hot room). Intense where it will "knock you on your ass" - and relieve anxiety pretty quickly, or at least use excess / built up energy.
