Hi all. I am not currently on meds, but I'm starting to have some problems. I don't even have a doctor. (I graduated from college and moved recently.) When I first moved I got a new doc and he put me on Paxil claiming no side effects. That I would simply feel normal again. (whatever!) Paxil freaked me out. I felt like I was in some alternate universe. After being on it for only a month or so I just stopped taking it. I am now very frightened to see a doctor. I have always had problems with anxiety, mood swings, and depresson. I began experiencing panic attacks in college. Twice the "attacks" lasted over a month. I woke up every day and was in a panic attack. HELL. I felt completely detached from the outside world. Reality seemed faint. I now have a panic attck almost every day esp. at work. The feelings of living in a dim fog are resurfacing.
Suggestions? What can I do to stop my fear of medications? Anyone have a good mantra? hehe...Thanks for any help that comes my way.
