In reply to Prescribed Paxil for anxiety, posted by software guru on May 14, 2003, at 6:33:16
software,
I've never taken Paxil, but my sister tried it for anxiety attacks (after a lot of other meds), and found that it works for her.
Paxil shouldn't affect the acupuncture. I'd double-check with the acupuncturist, but I've had successful acupuncture even while on meds. A few neurotransmitters are nothing against a needle tapping a nerve.
I would actually continue trying both. While benzos have the benefit of being short-acting, you can become desensitized to their effects quickly. Plus, no offense, but if you've abused drugs in the past, there's more potential for abuse with a benzo.
