Hi-
Am 48 year old female being treated for depression and anxiety. Symptoms are low mood, and obsessing about itching, tingling, and burning sensations on my skin. Was on paxil 5-10 mgs for one week and got really nervous, heart racing, jittery, couldn't sit still. Switched to zoloft 12.5 and xanax .5 (one per day). On two weeks now. Heart races and still jittery. Should I switch to 25 mg like dr. wants? Skin problems and anxiety about it were better some days but this heart thing and jitters are driving me crazy. All my lab tests were normal and dr. does not think the skin thing is neuro. Anybody have this? Maybe ssris aren't for me? Any advice would be appreciated.
