"NEW USER" , Thu 21 Aug 12:31

Hello! I am new to the site and am really enjoying it! I was on paxil for a while and it was great and worked for me but I came off of it because I did not want to be on a perscription drug for the rest of my life. I have been off of it for about 6 months nad now I am starting to have a little anxiety and so I asked my gyno it st. johns wort would be ok and he said yes. I have only been taking it for three days and I am feeling a little tired and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about when to take it or what. Any information would be helpful.
thanks

HI KAYCE

JUST READ YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH SJW, I ALSO TOOK THAT FOR SOMETIME, AND I, LIKE YOURSELF, WAS SO AFRAID OF A "PERSCRIPTION DRUG". I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ANXIETY AND PANIC AND OF COURSE ALL OF THOSE RESTRICTIONS LEAD TO DEPRESSION. I HAVE A TWO YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND DISABLED PARENTS AND A DEMANDING CAREER, AND I
HAD REACHED MY LIMITS. SJW WAS HELPFUL, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO WARN YOU THAT SJW IS NO DIFFERENT THAN THE PERSCRIPTION DRUG PROZAC, EXCEPT THAT THE DOSAGE IS NOT SIENTIFICALLY MEASURED FOR ACCURACY, AND OF COURSE IS AVAILABLE WITHOUT A PERSCRIPTION. SO IN REALITY YOU ARE TAKING A "PERSCRIPTION DRUG" WITHOUT THE AID AND MONTIORING OF A DOCTOR. BE CAREFUL OF THIS. I TAKE PERSCRITION PAXIL CR AND AM VERY PLEASED WITH IT. IT IS BECAUSE OF THE MANY HORROR STORIES I HAVE READ ON LINE THAT I HAVE WAITED SO LONG TO GET MY LIFE BACK. I WATCH WHAT I EAT AND HAVENT GAINED WEIGHT, I STILL HAVE A COUPLE OF BEERS AND ENJOY A CAMPFIRE AND A COLD BEER. I LOVE MY LIFE AGAIN WITHOUT A HYPER HIGH. I SLEEP AT NIGHT AND KISS MY HUSBAND AND DAUGHTER AND PRAY FOR MY PARENTS AND HAVE ACCEPTED THE FACT THAT THE WORLD IS UNFOLDING AS IT SHOULD. MEDICINE LIKE PAXIL CR IS DESIGNED FOR PATIENTS THAT HAVE A CHEMICAL IMBALANCE IN THEIR BRAINS THAT DOES NOT ALLOW THE BRAIN TO ABSORB SERATONIN AND NO MATTER HOW HARD WE TRY OR HOW GOOD OUR LIFE IS WE CAN'T BE HAPPY WITH IT. IT REALLY IS OUT OF OUR CONTROL. PART OF OUR GENETIC MAKE UP. IT TOOK ME 40 YEARS OF PANIC, STRESS, AND OUT OF CONTROL LIVING TO REALIZE THAT I'M LUCKY TO ONLY HAVE TO TAKE MEDICINE AT 40 FOR MY MENTAL HEALTH. IT IS A CONDITION THAT NEEDS TO BE TREATED AND MONITORED BY A DOCTOR. PLEASE RECONSIDER WHAT YOU HAVE DONE BY SWITCHING MEDICINE. AS FAR AS THE SIDE EFFECTS AFTER 3 MONTHS THEY HAVE ALL DISAPPEARED. AS FAR AS WITHDRAWAL, MY DOCTOR SAYS THAT I CAN BE SAFELY ON PAXIL FOR 40 YEARS. I WOULD BE GRATEFUL TO BE AROUND ANOTHER 40. BY THE WAY I HAVE ALSO QUIT SMOKING THROUGH ALL OF THIS. NOW LET ME TELL YOU IF YOU EVER WANTED TO QUIT TAKING PERSCRIPTION DRUGS, IF I CAN QUIT NICOTINE, I CAN QUIT ANYTHING. NICE TALKING TO YOU. GOOD LUCK
