> Hi--
not a guy, sorry.
I've taken paxil [30mgs,standard dose] and am "familiar" with
your complaint. I found it resolved itself ca. 3 months. I've heard
1 or 2 others say 3 or 4 months. Would you be willing to stay on it for
that long to see if it would resolve?
Like you, I'm in recovery and so totally scared of stuff like xanax.
But you say that you've been depressed since 1st grade??
I was prompted to take AD meds to preserve my sobriety -- depression threatened
my sobriety, not to mention my sanity.
It seems like panic is more the problem? If so, the xanax, with good sobriety skills
[don't be guilty, it's non-productive and you need the med] is probably best.
If depression is more of an issue, have you tried the tricyclics? They're older and
some people object to the side effects but sexual problems are not generally amoung them.
I wish you the best.
