vickers....would you feel guilty about taking meds for a heart condition, diabetes, blood pressure....why do you allow yourself to suffer....I totally understand....Ive tried no meds for years because I felt I HAD to beat this but it was useless.......I wish I could find a med that works..since I cant find anything that totally works, I stick to a low dosage benzo(.25) and antid(5mg) to just help a bit, along with excercise, cbt, diet, etcetc ...if Paxil worked for you, why did you stop.......did you have side effects from it OR have a hard time withdrawing? What dosage was effective for panic.
