Scott,I havent completely ruled it out...it's just that for the last 3 weeks I have struggled tremendously with getting off Paxil, and knowing what I went through, I guess I am effectively scared to death to try it again any time soon. Yesterday and today are the first two days that I didn't have to spend the majority of time in bed or taking sedatives, I actually felt alive today, and for that reason, I guess that at least for now, I want to leave well enough alone.
Maybe I do need to be on Paxil still, I really can't say for sure, because I don't think that 9 days off of it is any real test. Thanks for your concern though, and when I feel "rested up" enough to try it again, I will try the Prozac route. Thanks.
