In reply to Best Meds for Panic?, posted by Tom Twilight on November 21, 2006, at 14:54:33
I didn't read all the responses, but, years ago, I was put on Paxil for panic/anxiety/depression, and it was a godsend! I started weaning myself off after several years on it and didn't have a problem at all stopping. When I was weaning off, I would sometimes skip a day or two then take a small, half dose (never had any zaps or nauseau or anything when I skipped a dose). I wish now I had just stayed on a small maintenance dose, because when I went back on it a few years after weaning off because of anxiety brought on by a work-related situation, it did not work. But, when I was on it for about 7 years, it worked wonderfully. No panic, no anxiety, no depression and I also felt more confident in social and work situations where before I would feel nervous. It helped my confidence, that's for sure.
