Hey jcunni6,
You will have to give the Paxil time to build in the body again. Theraputic levels can take several weeks to be established. Give it time and it will begin working again, I suspect. If you need to, maybe you can call your regular doctor and discuss the problems you are facing. If you need someone to talk to, you are more than welcome to talk here or by friending me and I will you so we can talk in private. You will get through this, just remember to get your prescription filled before you run out next time.
