HI

My dr just recommened paxil for me at 10mg. I can be highly strung and a worrier and very anxious. I tend to think worse case scernio when i am sick even just a sore throat.

What have been your reacation to this drug?????????/

I asked the pharmist about the sucial tendies and all and she said that for the most part the people who had them were sucidal or very depressed before. She said that it is not addicitve and that she would give them to her own mother.

What do you think????????????????

(((Worrier))) ITA with Sheri Ann. This drug is approved for anxiety disorders & works well. The suicidal warning is mostly aimed @ teens, but to cover their butts, the drug companies have to aim the message

Hi.
Eight years ago, Paxil was a life saver for me. It helped me when I thought there was no help. I did go off of it about 3 years ago with no problems went off slowly though. But it was a good option for me. Robin

I took Paxil years ago and started taking it again about 7 months ago after a rough time. It has worked great for me (and I liked to obsess too) -- give it time to work though. It was a good three weeks before I was feeling better. I started on 10 mg and felt good enough to stay there. I'm actually getting ready to wean off. I wish you the same luck I've had!
