I was told that if you take Paxil that you shouldn't just stop taking it, it has to be done gradually. The fact that you ran out and weren't taking it for 2 weeks might be why your panic has gotten bad again.
I know you don't want to see the Free Doctor in the city, but if its your only option right now you might want to re-consider. The longer you go without treatment, the worst it may be for you.
Dear Jay,
The symptoms you describe are often assosciated with Panic/anxiety. I would recommend that you see your family doctor and let them know what has been going on. Any new symptoms should be reported. Keep posting and let us know how you are doing.

I was seeing a Doc...I need to start seeing a new one due to the cost of sessions with the other one..so I havnt seen a doctor in about 4 months..I was in a car accident and have been out of work. I was on paxil cr 20 mg...but I havnt had a script for them in awhile...so My sister who works for a doctor has been sending me samples to cover me..I ran out about 2 weeks ago..and they have just got their samples back in so it will be another 4 days or so till I receive them..I know I need to find a cheaper Doc..I am just affraid to use the free Doc in the city. I want the best help I can get...but since I can't really afford that..I guess I have to see the free one..they don't do sessions they just Prescribe meds..so I don't think it will help much. Thanks for taking the time to post replies..its good to know people are out there who care.

Hi Jay. We all have set backs and we all have days that are worse than others. Just remember you can get better. Are you seeing a doctor and are you on meds?
Keep coming back and keep talking to us. I know what you mean about this place. It has helped me tremendously knowing there are others going through what I'm going through.
Hi Jay,
Glad to see that your internet is back up and running. Sorry to hear that your panic/anxiety is bad right now. Have you told your doctor about this? Make use of the tools on the left of your screen and the support group. Keep posting or just reading...we're here to help.

I Have been away for awhile since I lost my internet connection. It really sucked not being able to log into here and read some post. Just reading post makes me feel better. Its good to see some new members as well. I hope everybody is doing ok. Lately my Panic has been pretty bad. I have been trying hard to deal. I have even been pushing myself to go out to the mall and force myself to interact with the outside. It seems I have been wound up like a drum. Not sure Why. I guess I will be ok...
