I've gone through a similar situation and I was also put on Paxil and than Lexapro. I had gone though a laundry list of physical problems and my doctor was convinced that I was having anxiety and panic attacks. After four months, i was still experiencing physical problems. I had TMJ (jaw clicking), sleep patterns was never normal and I would have general aches and pains. I felt like my entire body was falling apart. I was so discouraged. It was only after some additonal testing, they had found that my hormones was extremely low and I also suffer from severe sleep apnea. I certainly don't want to discourage you from fighting, but it did take a few months to sort it all out. I had my sleep apnea addressed and I started to take hormone replacements. Little by little, I started to feel better. I suggestion. Hang in there. Maybe it a hormone imbalance and the doctor will be able to help you get your life back. I hope this helps you, Please take care of yourself. I can certainly understand your concerns. I’ve gone through a similar situation and I was also put on Paxil and than Lexapro.

It sounds a hell of a lot like hypothyroidism to me. Do you feel the cold easily? Have heavy periods? Once you are on thyroxine for a couple of months most of the symptoms would have eased. But after about 9 days you will be feeling more motivated. Find another doctor or if you don’t mind go back to the one who put you on the Paxil and demand to have a full Thyroid Function Test done.
