God Bless Paxil!

[w00dy65]

I just had a friend delete me cuz they haven't taken their meds yet...they weren't comfortable with taking meds yet.

I told them to "Do it...don't be a d!ck"

I wish I had someone tell me that several years ago, it would have saved me a lot of pain!!

Good luck buddy! I'm still here for ya!

I take paxil but for the side effects. I can if I don't take it for a few days I get a weird feeling in my head
& my wife thinks I start being a tail hole. It helps me with anger.

My doc switched me to Cymbalta...I don't notice any side FX, but it seems to work better for the depression and helps me to stay more focus and motivated.

The worse thing for me is to isolate myself and do nothing...it just feeds off itself at that point.

10 years ago I was diagnosed with Major Depression, PTSD and Generalized Anxiety Disorder w/Panic Attacks. Celexa saved my life. I was also on Klonopin for awhile. The Depression and PTSD are under control now and I'm able to to manage it and the anxiety without meds.

Let me clear up some misinforrmation I read. First, anti-depressants (Zoloft, Prozac, Celexa, etc) are not habit forming. Meds used to treat anxiety (Ativan, Klonopin, Xanax, etc) very much can be.

Second, NO anti-depressant is going to make you feel better in 4 days. They take about 6 weeks to kick in. It sucks but that's just how they work. I found that the side effects, while annoying, did eventually subside. Anti-depressants take a lot of patience!

I'm not a medical professional, just a 39 year old woman who's struggled with depression and anxiety for as long as she can remember (officially diagnosed in 1999) who reads everything she can on her disorders.

I have severe/major depression episodes from time to time...usually more than not! It gets worse as I get older...

I know that I can't be the only on on CB who has been diagnosed with a clinical form of depression! This is not a place for medical advice, just a place where we can come to feel a little normal with our abnormalties...

I hope this thread thrives!!

Scientists say depressed individuals are the most analytical thinkers on the planet. They have the ability to break anything down and analyze it to death.

So while it may seem a bad thing at first, maybe there is potential to do some amazing things with it. I have no idea.

Depression has the potential to be a two part "dis-ease".

1.) Chemical

2.) "Psychological"

The first part depends on balancing the chemistry of the mind, and the second part relies on your personal outlook on life, and how you deal with your life.

All the medication in the world won't make you feel better- it'll just make you fuzzy, and zombified.

The goal of medication is to give you *that much* breathing room in your brain to be able to function somewhat "normally".

That's when psychology comes in, it help's you rethink the way you think- so that you can change the way you view life, and get over past traumas that may be rearing their ugly heads.

The best results occur when both work hand in hand.

And then of course sometimes people go through rough times in which depression is strictly a "psychological" "dis-ease", in which medication isn't required, nor practical- but helps.
