More Paxil Withdrawals

I share this with you because these withdrawal symptoms are for real.

If anyone who reads this is contemplating getting on Paxil or "weaning" (and I emphasize the weaning part) off of it, READ! There is tons of stuff on the net both ways. I probably didn't follow exact protocol in getting off.

I am learning that Paxil is one of the harshest anti-depressants/anti-anxiety drugs on the market. The side effects are harsh and the withdrawals are even worse.

My problem is that I don't want to take any kind of drug to help me "deal" with life. Some of my decisions I made in life warranted the "getting on" the drug. I just don't believe that God wired us to have to take these drugs daily to cope. HE IS ENOUGH! I am so glad that HE is in my life. I have an awesome support staff that is helping me through this.

This is a very harsh drug. The side effects and withdrawal symptoms are real!

I need your prayers in getting past these symptoms. Don't worry, I'm not suicidal! I have way too much to live for. I know that! I make lists nightly of things that I'm grateful for. And make list of answered prayers! They are good list. Satan rears his head up at goofy times. He had me once, but he's not getting me again!!!

Sorry for the seriousness of this blog today. I want this to be a "happy" place for people to come to and get lifted spiritually.

Also, if you are contemplating getting on or off of Paxil, talk to me. I'm not an expert by any means, but I am an "ear to hear".

Remember two thing here!
1. God doesn't make junk!
2. Jesus didn't die for junk!
