s anxiety does not yet sound like mania, but it is a state of excitement like mania, so given that, yes, the
paxil may be contributing to his
anxiety. You will have to go back to your doctor and ask him to help with the withdrawals of paxil, if that is the decision, and if so, to do it over a three week period....and use the clonopin at night to help maintain sleep and cover some of the anxiety during the day.
