I think its perfectly ok to take medicine prescribed accurately that can give you a better quality of life.Theres nothing wrong with that at all.But at first,taking the medicine for anxiety GIVES you anxiety,because since you are a thinking person,you think about that just like anything else.Maybe even "overthink".Its good you got something to help you.Nothing wrong with that at all.No matter what that medicine is called.

I dunno what this person but I thought I'd respond anyhow. Actually I've used Paxil and it worked wonders for me.

What might be the name of the medication that you were prescribed?
15 mg is too much if it's Valium, Ativan, Xanax, or Klonopin!

I don't think much of that situation at all. Quite apart from not knowing WHAT drug you have been prescribed, in my Clinic I work out what is causing your anxiety and remove the causes. That way you get better, your life if freed from mind-altering drugs (BAD news#$%&) and your brain is clear and fresh to face the challenges of modern living. Pills NEVER get rid of your anxiety - they just smother it in a drug-induced fog and you are left with BOTH the anxiety AND the side-effects of your medication. Please yourself if you want to use a chemical crutch, but there are other healthier ways to overcome anxiety, fear, anger, insomnia etc., etc.!

The pharmaceutical industry is the wealthiest international business in the world. Who else sells $1000 a pop pills? Not even recreational drugs cost that much....

@DrBrian, so are you saying that medications have no place in our society? Tell me, how do you deal with someone who is hearing voices, or seeing things? How do you remove those if not with medication? Your "Clinic" as you call it, seems like a fraud. @StevenHensen, Great comment! I so agree!

Oh, goody - a couple of genuine bar stewards! I didn't say not to use medication. What I said was to look at the curative processes that remove the NEED for drugs or artificial solutions first. The hardest patients to treat are those who are using chemical crutches. There is the dreadful withdrawal stage, then the restoration of their self esteem. And finally the determination and removal of their orgjnal problem using gentle, non-addictive methods. To be honest, I don't bother with folk on prescribed drugs for emotional problems any more. I have enough genuine patients who want to overcome their stresses and anxieties to keep me busy....

@DrBrian, Yeah, you sound like a quack. Personally I think you should stop treating people all together. All I see is a bunch of bull s, and it is deep too! Need my waders.
