Stress and anxiety

I take Paxil and I don't act like a zombie. Actually it has helped me be able to focus more. I wondered about being dependent but I asked my doctor and the pharmacist what Paxil does. It allows the seratonin that I depleted to no longer be depleted. It is not adding anything to my body that should not be there. Talk to your doctor and to your pharmacist and also research on the net. It helps you understand how the medicine works. And above all, don't think you are a failure for needing it. You aren't a failure.
