Hi, I was recently diagnosed as suffering from PTSD by, first, a psycologist and then by my family doctor. This comes from being involved in a wreck caused by a drunk driver.
I am 25 years old. A single mom. This wreck took place a year ago. Today, I was put on Paxil CR, 12.5mg/day.
Is anyone else here on Paxil CR? Can you tell me how it has helped, or hindered you? Any personal side effects you have experienced, seen, or heard of. This is my last resort, and I am somewhat aprehensive because I know it is a huge and serious step. This comes after failed attempts with herbal alternative mood enhancers. I am just scared, and nervous. There is this stigma of people on medications like these...
Any encouragement and/or information would be much appreciated.
