paxil
I started taking paxil for social anxiety disorder. It made my heart beat too fast and made me shaky and it also made my face swell.. weird, i know. I'm so disappointed that it isn't going to work for me.. i was really hoping it would help and be good. Does anyone know what some of the other good ones are for social anxiety disorder?

I completely agree with solidadvice4teens.
Paxil is BAD.
When I was put on Paxil by a family doctor, it literally changed my personality for the worse. I lived in a total rage every day because of the medication. Come to find out, I really didn't need medication.
If you are having these reactions to Paxil, you need to seek medical help right away. Fast heart rate is not good for you at all. Neither is swelling. They are dangerous side effects!
Antidepressants (aka anxiety medication) are for those who have a chemical imbalance in their brains.
Psychiatrists and therapists are the ones whose professions revolve around the human brain. Like solidadvice said, you should see a therapist to find out what the right medication is for you, or better yet, find out if you can solve your social anxiety disorder without drugging your brain.

You obviously have no idea how lucky you are not to be having severe problems right now. Paxil can be bloody dangerous and was in my experience.
If it was causing your face to swell, heart race and to be shaky it's a very bad thing. You are lucky you didn't need hospitalization or die from it. The drug triggered delusions in me a few years back.
I wouldn't advise anyone to use or prescribe it. Did you get it from a family doctor? General practitioners seldom know when and when not to prescribe such drugs to patients.
I'm not an expert on your disorder but I advise you to stop seeing your family doctor as he/she doesn't know what they are doing and get a referral to a psychiatrist.
A psychiatrist if you aren't already seeing one can help you with your disorder and assess you and your needs and be the only person who really knows what anti-depressants if any to prescribe.
Leave that up to the expert and not your family doctor who often has no experience with the anti-depressant he's giving you. You don't need to be exposed by him/her to any more drugs that can cause such a dangerous reaction.
