I am 28 years old female and I have anxiety since childhood. I took paxidep for three months and it cured my anxiety for while. I used to take paxidep and modalert which was quite good. But then I was diagnosed with pcod and stopped taking paxidep as I was fully focusing on my pcod. Now after five months, I started to get anxious again. I started taking pramipex 0.125 tablet along with paxidep 12.5 and modalert and cobadex for anxiety and vitamins. It has been one week I have started these medicines again along with pramipex. But I am feeling to weak, sleepy and energy less all the time. So my questions are 1. Should I stop taking pramipex or should I take it at night. 2. Does paxidep make you gain weight? My psychiatrist said no, it will not. I need to maintain my weight due to pcod.
