P.S. I am very fortunate to have a very caring and responsible doctor who will listen to all my concerns. When I presented my dislike to him in the beginning about going on meds he was very puzzled and responded: Your dad is diabetic right? He doesn't want to take insulin but he has to. He then told...

Hi Melanie, I am not here to tell you if you should or should not take medicine, but I would like to relay my experience. Four years ago, while in college, I developed awful panic attacks. After about a week, I said that's it, I need to go to the doctor. He prescribed me 1mg of xanax xr per day. Rel...

Thanks for your post designkid. I actually just got the program a week ago, and will be starting session 2 today. I've been feeling pretty good the last few days, and I truly believe I have learned A LOT from the program in just a week's time. Anyway, thanks again for your post. I appreciate your ki...

The Room By Brian Keith Moore In that place between wakefulness and dreams, I found myself in the room.There were no distinguishing features save for the one wall covered with small index card files. They were like the ones in libraries that list titles by author or subject in alphabetical order. Bu...

Hi Holly, I am so glad to here about your new found faith. I've been Catholic all my life, but unfortunately at many times have put God on the back burner. However, I always seem to find myself going back to him, especially in times of trouble. Jesus loves you and will never betray you. Will you hav...

Hi, I've been in the process of weaning myself off paxil for about 4 weeks. Originally, per my doctor, I was to take one pill every other day for 4 weeks, and then one pill every third day for 4 weeks. Well, after a week and a half of awful dizziness I decided to take it a little slower. I would tak...

Hi, I would like to join the prayer group. I have strayed a little in my spirituality and I want back. Of course, I'm in a rut right now and I usually go seeking God when I'm feeling down. As I start feeling better I always tell myself I will keep going to church, praying, and keeping a relationship...

I just need to vent. I have been weaning off of paxil for about a month now--have been on it for four years. My dose was one 10mg pill once a day, along with one 1mg of xanax. Originally my doctor told me the following: stay on the xanax (at least for the time being) and take my paxil every other da...

Thanks for all your comments and advice. I went to the doctor a few days ago due to a nasty head cold :-(, and I talked to him a little bit about my medications. He said we would talk further in the beginning of January...he wanted me to concentrate on getting through my law apps and test this month...
