Zellie......I agree with you whole heartedly. I weaned myself off Paxil several months ago (after 3 years) as the side effects were beginning to get out of control but also because my husband urged me to try to get back to "normal". I never thought of myself as being depressed but after the death of my father ( a very slow and emotionaly draining experience) I realized I had to get help. The paxil was a dream come true...I was my "old" self again, the person I had been 20 years ago! After weaning myself off the paxil within 3 weeks I knew I had to go back to something...my GP recommended Effexor and so far so good. I accept the fact that I may need these the rest of my life, and with time and research I hope the drug companies can make further progress in finding a drug with less severe s/e.
