Okay. Now I never followed up on this. I saw my primary care physician (pcp) and he advised that I stop the inderol completely. The rash/allergic reaction went away. I had welts all over my chest, stomach, neck area and I all traces have completely went away. I thought they would have left dark marks on my skin but its all gone. I stopped seeing the psychiatrist who prescribed the medication because he was negligent. Inderol is used to lower blood pressure which in turn would calm my nerves if I have anxiety. The problem: He never tested my blood pressure. So if I already had low blood pressure, I could have died. I stopped taking paxil too b/c I didn't really feel a difference. Sometimes I vaguely thought I did, but it didn't help me. I was still as anxious as when I'm not on anything.
Furthermore, after I stopped the paxil. I felt electric shock sensations in my head and throughout my body every few seconds and it lasted for about a month.
Its been about 4 months and I thought I would never try another medication but my PCP prescribed Xanax. He says Xanax is an anti-anxiety medication and not an anti-depressant so he thinks it should work better for me. He is a very understanding doctor and doesn't rush me. He asked me to stop by his office in a week or 2 just to let him know if the Xanax works, etc. He sort of reminds me of my dad...a caucasian version.
So I start my Xanax tonight. Actually let me take it right now before I forget.... .... ... done!
Until then...
