Venus,
Did you discuss these questions with your doctor as he/she gave you the prescription? You have to remember that these questions are important to you. Please do not be afraid to ask questions, doctors are there to assist you. Can you call your doctors office to talk to him/her? Tell them what you have told us today!
This was a great post!
Hope this helps :)

I went to the doctors today and they prescibed me to take 10mg of Paxil each day. I am a bit skeptical on taking medications/pills for this illness. What I originally asked for was a referral to someone who I can see and talk to. I want to find the core of the problem and fix it. I don't want to take pills. I want to live a normal life without medications. I've heard bad things about anti-depressant drugs and am unsure I want to take them.
I guess I am saying that I am scared to death to take these pills. I don't want anything bad to happen to me. I heard they really help with anxiety though and that's what I really need it for the most.
Anyone take Paxil...do you have any tips or advice you can offer me?
