Hello

I completed the anxiety & depression program last year. I did very well afterwards and always remembered/practiced what I learned. I have had to discontinue my Paxil because I am getting pregnant soon. I know I have the tools to go forward and deal with my Anxiety (depression doesn't seem to be much of an issues) but right now I just keep thinking that I don't have the Paxil in my system so I'm going to fall apart. I have only been on Paxil for 10 months, and wasn't on it for many many year before that. Any ideas?

First, Good Luck with your pregancy. This is a wonderful time your life. Always remember we are the ones that make ourselfs react anxious to our feelings. Just keep positive you have the tools. Just keep on thinking about the beautiful life you are creating. Its so much fun. Enojy being pregnant you get to eat what you want, that alone would make me happy. Stay strong and focused you don't need the paxil. Also, if you still have the program go through again refresh yourself with what you learned.

Good Luck!

How many mg of Paxil were you on? I suggest weaning really slow and you'll do just fine! You always have the program to fall back on. Good luck and congrats on the baby!
