Paxil - Advice?

Hello

A colleague of mine reccomended PAXIL to help me deal with my anxieties and fears. Does anyone here take PAXIL? is there any advice or any experiences you can tell me about it? I am worried to start taking drugs........

I have one piece of advice Hoobie... DON@T TAKE MEDICATION FOR AN ANXIETY DISORDER!

Why would you? Anxiety disorder is a 'bad habit' not a chemical imbalance so why on earth would you take medication? Anxiety is a behavioural condition and can ONLY be cured using a behavioural technique; which is why I developed my method!

nice 1 charles,,

maybe a little abrupt but i do agree with you i have been suffering with anxiety for 4-5 years now and unfortunatly it has got to the point were i avoid places ///situations which of course has left me with a degree of agraphobia,,,

i am accepting my situation now which i could not do before ,,,

the one thing i have ALWAYS said to myself is i CAN do this without medication,,,

i guess what i am trying to say is what works for some people is great and if meds are the way for some i wish them all the luck in the the world,,,

thanks

darren .

i have to agree with charles on the case of medication. personally i have seen too many cases gone bad due to medication to ever really advise it for anyone.

I agree with Charles.
I have been dealing with Panic Attacks since I was eight yrs old. At 21(1970) I was put on Valium. I became addicted and when I went off them 8yrs later my problem was so severve I didn't think I would ever recover. I have used different methods over the years and have had long periods without panic but always some anxiety. recently the panic came back, too much stress. For the first time in 27yrs I came so close to taking some drugs as the panic was dibilitating. I know this is not the answer. I am now contemplating the Linden method and am not sure just what is stopping me , fear, money?
