Suffering from anxiety for fourteen years. I am on paxil and generic Zanax.
I want to get off of prescription drugs. The doctor put me on these drugs for a major crisis in my life. That crisis led to an on going life of stress. When I began taking Paxil, the doctor informed me it wasn't addictive. It was a rather new drug at the time. I wish with all my heart, I'd never began taking the medications. I want so much to feel like my old self again. I could be wrong but, I believe the drugs affect my not wanting to do anything.
I understand your feelings. I've had panic attacks for 7 yrs. now & I'm 29 yrs.old. I also wish to get off of my med. but feel as though I need it. I bought Lucinda's program in 04 & had just shoved it to the side, but now I've decided to get it out & go through the program. I've had it accessible for 4 yrs. just didn't think nothing would help me. Now I'm tired of taking meds. I'm on Celexa, Buspar, & Ativan. The discouraging thing is that I don't feel as though the med. is working at all.
