It is good that you are cautious, because you are very vulnerable. But you are very strong, too. It takes a lot of courage to take the steps that you are taking, and you are willing to reach into unknown territory to find healing for that little girl you are protecting. I am excited at the possibilities that lie ahead for you.
As for my experience with Paxil, it was several years ago, and I really had a bad reaction to it. I experienced tremendous anxiety and irritability on it, and by the third day I felt like I was losing my mind. I couldn't function, and I really felt like I was in danger of seriously hurting someone. I had to stop taking it after the third day.
Some people just react extremely different than expected on some medications. And as I mentioned, this all happened very soon after I began taking it. You are doing fine on it - I can tell by your posts that you are feeling so much better now than your were in the beginning.
But, don't feel obligated to say that you are doing well, if you're not - ok? [Like most of us, you probably learned to get good strokes by being "a good little girl", eh?]
I, myself have been having a really hard day today; feeling pretty down. I am hoping that it is just because I ate too many sweets yesterday. Tomorrow will tell, I guess. I am going to my brother's house tomorrow for a housewarming. He and his wife live over near the ocean (Pacific) and it is a good three-hour drive from here. The drive will be good for me - it is a beautiful drive, and I enjoy driving (as long as I can hide behind my sunglasses:)
Well, I didn't plan on writing a book . . . sorry; I just got on a roll. Sleep well tonight, and have a peaceful tomorrow. ...jlynne
