RZIP people have such different reactions to medicines that it would be hard to say. Being aware of potential problems withdrawing at least makes it possible for you to plan ahead and make sure to taper slowly,etc. Have you ever had good experiences with any meds? I really think it's something you need to discuss with your doctor. I dislike medicine intensely myself, but I do take it when I think the positive effects will outweigh the negative. It sounds like you might be really close to that point. I think Paxil might be a good choice. Remember you don't have to be on it forever and if it doesn't help, withdrawal probably won't be that much worse than the way things are now. The other posters here might have more specific meds advice. Maybe you should put a post on the other PB board. Good Luck

But I worry about the withdraw symptoms if I later choose to go off it. I am so resistant toward medications. But, I can not go on like this. It is too stressful, to intensely anxious. Help...
