Paxil 40mg

[Guest]

Dear pdxryan:
I know what you mean by "PAX HELL". I was on Paxil ( prescibed by my Primary Care Physician) for three years. I do not think that Primary Care Doctors have the knowledge or skills to deal with psychiatric medication presciptions.
I was not monitored while I was on this drug whatsoever by my Primary Care Doctor. After taking the drug for three years I started noticing problems at work, so, stupidly, I took myself off of the drug. Going off of the Paxil, I believe, sent my life into a downward spiral, leading me to way bigger life problems. I thought that I was taking myself off of the drug little by little, but who knows. I looked up some information online about Paxil one day a few years ago and I found a lot of people talking about having a hard time getting off of this drug and some of the people could not even do it because of severe side effects. I am glad that Paxil is helping a lot of people in this discussion, but it just was the most terrible drug I had ever been on. But then it was the first psychiatric drug I had ever taken also. Good Luck to everyone on the program, I am on Session # 4.
