I have had really bad anxiety for my whole life and I used to medicate with alcohol and drugs for 10 years. I got sober a year and a half ago, and have had increased anxiety since then. I just got home from an appointment with a psychiatrist today and I was not expecting to have to tell my whole life story.. I cried a lot, and had a lot of things resurface from the past. It made me realize how important going to therapy is, and how the meds I got (Paxil) won’t fix everything, but will hopefully help. Does anyone here take Paxil, if so how is it? I got the lowest dose to start… here’s to hoping!
