This forum is filled with people who are or were suffering from anxiety, of course, What I think is lacking may be some success stories. People DO make progress with this disorder, and I believe it's important for people who are new to the problem to see that it can be dealt with. I suffered badly for a couple years before it was even diagnosed correctly, and then it took another four months for me to ask doctors for a medicinal solution. Once I did I got a lot better. You will hear good and bad about all these types of medications, but fortunately the success stories far out weigh the bad ones. We just can't predict how any of us will respond to any particular medication, and that can be very frustrating with it being trial and error. I hope you have great success with the Paxil, many of us have. After 6 of these and no tests or anything, I've had it with the meds. I was on Paxil. Paxil put loads of weight on me, made me nauseous and never really took away my anxiety. I was very very sick coming off it. I was also on Effexor which completely took away my anxiety for about a year at the highest dose. With the exception of the HUGE weight gain, both meds were OK when I was on them... coming off them is Hell on earth. (mind you, I got to lose the 60 lbs I gained on them when I came off). If you google Paxil withdrawal there are several good websites. Skip the horror stories and just look at the success stories. That's what happens to most people, they do get past it. I've heard several success stories of people going cold-turkey off alcohol which sort of surprised me. People with 10 years or more of sobriety. That's pretty amazing. But these depression meds have a much different effect. Finding a natural treatment is a possible option as mentioned by the therapist from Canada. I have to admit it's difficult to get into a routine, but exercise is great therapy. Martial arts also. it gets you focused. I'm considering Methadone but have read so many horror stories and would like hear some from those who have read my story and tell me what they think. I have tried tapering and that's harder than trying to just stop CT. I've tried the Thomas Recipe and I just threw up all the pills. I'm at the end of my rope and I don't want to die...I want to live but my options are running out. I don't want to replace one drug for another stronger one. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I thought these drugs were just for depression, which I do not have? Do you have any success stories with this drug and ist? Also my AAIR pacer at my last pacer check is pacing my atrium 98% of the time. Is their any harm with pacing this much? It seems like a lot? How long do you think my battery will last with pacing this often? It is a guidant pacer and I just had it put in this past Nov. I'm 27, do you think in my lifetime I will have to have the leads changed? I was taking 30mg of Paxil for 4 years for panic/anxiety attacks. I started getting panic attacks in college and tried everything (therapy, yoga, herbs, diet changes, etc) and still suffered such severe attacks that I couldn't drive a car, sometimes I couldn't be alone, or I would have to leave a store because of unrational "fear of dying." Anyway, the Paxil did the trick, and I must say that I had a very positive experience on it. I was taken off Paxil nearly three years ago by a psychiatrist, who used about a six week taper. At first I suffered a lot of disorientation and insomnia, then it evolved into intense depression, constant anxiety, and worse anxiety attacks. I was put on the drug for anxiety attacks. It's three years later and I'm still in constant anxiety, my phobias are way worse, and deeply depressed, so I ended up with three problems where I was only being originally treated for one. org/wiki/Serotonin_syndrome and there are many other success stories on the net... I have also heard that 5-HTP is actually prescribed in Europe by doctors, but have not verified this (do a web search of: "5-HTP is prescribed in Europe"). 5-HTP could also help you lose those extra pounds the Paxil put on. Remember to be careful when using 5-HTP with SSRIs! And if you know anyone considering anti-depressants, refer them to 5-HTP first. If you search the web there are many Paxil withdrawal sites -- skip the failures and look at the success stories -- they will help. There's also a book called the AntiDepressant Solution that might help. Go at your speed, and you'll be fine. I'm a 36 year-old male. I've been taking 40mg of Paxil for 10 years. I have to take the name-brand, because the generic doesn't work for me (tried 3 different times). A few weeks ago, the old feelings of anxiety started creeping back in. Racing thoughts, sick feeling in the pit of my stomach, overwhelming sense of fear, etc. Now, I am feeding that anxiety with more fear. I am afraid that Paxil isn't working anymore, and I am scared that I will have to come off of it. Just remember for every horror story you read, there are literally thousands of success stories out there. Finding the right medication can be a little trial and error in my opinion. What works good for some, does not work well for others. Xanax and Klonopin are benzos which treat anxiety specifically, but SSRIs are usually prescribed for much longer term use. Xanax is usually prescribed short term while klonopin is used over the long term. You aren't anyone else, and their experiences can't tell you what you'll experience. When you go on those Paxil withdrawal sites, go to the success stories -- they're there, too. And remember, a lot of people suffer bad withdrawals because they're never told by their docs about withdrawal. Paxil's manufacturer was sued to the gills over this, but that was a decade ago. The FDA now puts a warning on every antidepressant about the possibility of withdrawal and how to deal with it. The same websites that have the bad withdrawal stories also contain success stories, as well. And for me, even though quitting Paxil has destroyed me, I'm in a tiny class, maybe a class of one. Most make it through it okay. My point still is, be on the safe side, and be aware of what to look for in case you are one of the many who do suffer bad withdrawals so you'll know how to handle it -- too many psychiatrists don't. Does anyone on this board (with heart rhythm issues) have success stories from these drugs that you could share with me? I have taken a xanax before and it did calm me down so I'm looking forward to seeing how the Xanax and Lexapro will help me out. Much thanks.
