relaxed....but cant speak....? - Anxiety Message Board

Hi
Im puzzled...since the introduction of paxil and wellbutrin, my typical anxiety symptoms have subsided dramatically...ie, my brain doesnt feel like its being electrocuted constantly and i can finally put my mind at ease...i almost feel normal...However, despite feeling somewhat normal, whenever I try to think or speak, I just can't access the right words...talking and thinking is forced...is this related to anxiety or something else? how do i conquer it?

Please note, that this iability to express myself did not emerge after the introduction of the drugs...it has been with me the entire time.

thanks

I founf it hard to think of the word I wanted when starting my antidepressant, but if its an old problem for you I suggest you practise having conversations with yourself when alone.
also think of what to say in advance, dont start talking and thinking at the same time
