For months I’ve been waking up every morning sweating, shaking, very nervous and very weak. Tried several anxiety medications wit no help. Currently taking 5mg Paxil and .5 mg Ativan twice daily. No help last most all day. HELP !

@janisjoplin6. Are you prescribed 5mg of Paxil for depression and anxiety? That's a very small dose and likely not very effective for the symptoms you are describing. Have you talked with your prescribing medical provider? I suggest that you write down your symptoms and the time and date you experience them. Then, when you do see your medical provider you will have that information to help them figure out what to do next.
