hmmm wow paxil did that to you?! paxil did absolutely nothing to me at all, in fact, it didn't even help!
i was on xanax for a while and that's some really bad stuff. it helped, but it threw me on an physical rollercoaster as far as feeling up and down very rapidly. and when i finally quit the medication i ended up having a seizure on a train on the way back to boston!
so right now i take ativan and its actually not working. i definitely agree with the comment about america being overmedicated....look inside my medicine cabinet, for instance. but i'm willing to try different medications to get mine under control because i'm not fortunate enough to have a milder case of the GAD & depression, to the effect where it really does get in the way of my daily life.
whew, i can't believe i just posted all of that private info.
