Wish me luck. I'm going off Paxil.

My doctor wants me to get off it and I have started to do it gradually. I'm scared. Anyone who has had anxiety and/or depression knows what I am talking about. I hope neither of them come back to the point that they were before.
 
I know exactly what you mean. Wellbutrin has worked really well for me. Before that I was on Paxil. Less sexual side effects with Wellbutrin. Good luck my friend.
 
Ive been on Prozac and Paxil. Paxil for the last 2+ years, I can't get off the stuff. Everytime I try, I go into horrible withdrawl. I get physically sick and mentally unstable. So, I guess I'm stuck on it for now...damn paxil.

Good luck homie.
 
eh' paxil is shitty, was on it for 6 months a couple years back, made me even more depressed than I was before..comparably as bad as accutane I think, even though they are completely different. (wasn't taken at the same time)
 
Hey mate you should smoke some pot, beats all the chemical shit. Smoke up and enjoy life mate.
 
I used to smoke pot. Gave me worse anxiety. Whenever I was high I felt like I couldn't fight. Just weak. Plus it is bad for [words=http://fleshlight.sjv.io/c/348327/302851/4702]stamina[/words].
 
Fuck pot, I hate that shit, that's what probably made you the way you are now J. I used to take valium recreationally, I noticed that while on that all your anxieties are gone, you ever tried this? I don't know how it may help you in the long term but I have always been laid back since using it :D, I sort of woke up and realised there isnt nothing to be anxious about.

what did accutane do? I thought the only side affect was hair loss and deformed babies...

I haven't smoked weed in years b/c the last time I smoked it I was paranoid. I thought my boyfriend of two years, who proposed to me, was only using me for sex. LOL
 
Update guys. I tried to get off of it gradually but it didn't work. I went nuts and I am back on it. Thanks for the support though.
 
You guys don't need any of that shit, all you need is exercize and to realize that there is a higher
power you can confide in. Let go. It's all fear based, from unresolved stuff in your subconsciuos.
Let it go. Pray and have faith. Anxiety is nothing more than physical symptoms that are caused by your
own head. Believe me, I've been on all that shit. It rapes and deprives you of being who you really are.
It helps the depression caus it makes you a lifeless shell. I know what I'm talking about. You got demons?
So do I. I get about 5 major panic attacks per week. I usually get it in the car or new social situations.
My fear is basically that I'm going to have anxiety in front of people and they are going to think I'm nuts.
You know what? Who cares. I leave sometimes, drink some water and walk. The number one thing that
has helped me is exercize. You have to sweat our your demons. I mean sweat. You have to realize that
there is a higher power, and you can release all your worries to that higher power. Don't put all of your
worries on yourself. Ask for help. Pray. Realize the things in the past that you worried about that never
materialized into jack shit. It was all bullshit, time wasted, worrying, while you could be living life.
Trust me, this country is way too medicated. You don't need that stuff. All you need in this life is food,
water, and exercize. Try to tap into the inner peace that lies within us all. Realize that everything is going
to be ok and you will be taken care of. Help others too, that does a world for depression. If you are
helping others in need, you are not concentrating on your own problems and it really does wonders for
your problems. Go to a hospital cancer unit. Volunteer. Spend time with patients and realize how insignificant
your worries are. It helps, and puts things into perspective. You can get off all that shit, but not cold turkey.
You have a brain, a soul and a body. Synchronize all of these and become at peace with yourself. Be happy
with yourself. Look at yourself in the mirror, tell God that you are thankful for being who you are. Don't be
afraid to love yourself and God. There is more to all this than meets the eye. Realize that. Be good to yourself
and good to others and love and forgive people. Don't go around with hate and anger. That's what ate me alive.
I'm far from perfect, but I know what I need to do. Cavemen survived, and I'm sure they got depressed. Medicine
is not the answer. You have all you need right in your head to fix yourself. Now go do it.

kfarrelldba, mental illness is not something you can always fight off through your own willpower. If there is something physiologically wrong with your brain, it's worth trying different medicine to see if it will help. Try telling a schizophrenic or a bipolar that they don't need meds, and it's all in their head.

There's not much difference between an illness that affects your brain, and an illness that affects another part of your body. If you have extreme chronic back pain your whole life, and therapy won't help, are you going to try and fight through it your whole life refusing to take medication? After all, the pain is only in your head, right? Why not try to see what treatment might help?
