It might be. If you go and do a search on Medline, you will find most SSRI’s can increase not only feelings of major anxiety, but also hostile and aggressive feelings. I don’t have the citations on hand, but you can go do a Medline search. This isn’t to say the meds can’t be helpful..but their side effect profile is not proving much better then the old TCA antidepressants. Don’t let your doctor ignore your feelings. Just tell him you are not comfortable with them, and demand a sollution. As much as many SSRI’s have done good for me, I have found a few that really cause this nervous aggitation. Prozac is the most famous for this, but all other SSRI’s have found to be similar. I don’t want to scare you off from Paxil, but you have no reason to live in such a jittery, aggressive state. Demand your doctor try to fix the situation, or get another doctor. It’s a very horrible feeling…I know. Best of luck, Jay

Is seroxat an anti-depressent? If so, ad’s can cause mania in people who are prone to manic depression. Your doc should know this, it’s basic. For email replies remove the **** from my email address.

Hi everyone, I found 2 people who seem to share my experience with seroxat. That is: anger or agitation, about 15 to 1 hour after later. Feelings of violence. Are there any more people who have this experience? My docs tell me it is all me because it isn’t in the leaflet that comes with the AD. In USA you are further on up the road regarding meds…so, please respond so I can use your comments as evidence (anonymous; I will remove all aliases and email adresses.) Thanks in advance, yours truly Vaipen
