I am 20 years old and have expierienced saddness and nervousness and anxiety for as long as i can remember. recently it has increased to an unfortunate level. i finally went to a psychatrist today and she diagnosed me with major depression super imposed on dysthyma and panic disorder and referred me to continue with therapy and gave me a prescription to Paxil. I'm nervous (ha) about taking the drug because i've read all of these horrible withdrawl symptoms and i don't want to be on medication my whole life. {or is it like if i had a heart problem...i would be on meds my whole life then.) i'm just having such a confliction because i want to feel better but i don't want to be dependant on meds. Anyone take paxil and have a good experience? please- i'm looking for honest advice because i'm sick of feeling so shitty.
