When paroxetine works, it can be magical. It is great for both depression and anxiety disorders. I do wonder, though, if it might not set one up for treatment-reisistence - a sort of cross-tolerance.

Although I don't see it yet, I'm looking for signs that Zoloft may have run its course for Taylor. A friend's daughter had been on several different antidepressants before a good one was found. She would notice that the med would peak at 6 weeks or so, but after that depression would return. It doesn't really makes sense to me, as I thought these meds needed time to "build the receptors" which made the serotonin work to begin with. I also understand that everyone responds differently.
As for my own meds, I'm going to start a new thread.
Thanks - Laura
