It does? I thought GAD meant experiencing fear, worry, or anxiety without any real cause, or at least far in excess of the seriousness of the patient's stated cause.

Although I was very anxious when I started the Paxil back in 2001, I no longer experience anxiety. I rarely, if ever, trouble myself with "what ifs" about problems that don't exist, nor do I experience anxiety about genuine problems--I figure out a way to solve them, delegate the task of solving them, or put them out of my mind until a solution presents itself.

How can I have GAD if I'm not anxious? I'm irritable, yes; and impatient, yes, but neither of these feelings is akin to anxiety as I understand the term.

Am I totally off base here? (If so, I'd better hang up my red pen and quit editing!)
