Question:

Well it’s going on 5 weeks without PAXIL AND I feel human again. Paxil worked great for me until the side effects were killing me. The Dr. has me on xanax and klonopin and thats seems to be a good combo for me. I tried for three years to get off Paxil, only to get flooded with adrenaline and or anxiety-panic attacks. The depression has not returned yet, (knock on wood) but the depression wasn’t the reason for the paxil.One Dr. put me on it so he could try to taper me off of xanax, witch was working fine for me. He said "xanax is addictive so I don’t want that to happen to you." For Christ sake I have ben on benzo’s for 15 years and I think it’s a little late to worry about the addiction/dependence of benzo’s. I know YMMV but if you ever want to give up paxil, you may want to try the X and K combo. (ask your DR.) John

Glad that you’ve found a solution that works for you.   Lori from SF Not one shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.
