"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

I am 28 now, and I have been on Paxil nearly continuously since I was about 11. That's 17 years of Paxil use. It is almost the only antidepressant I have ever used, although I am on Day 3 of a cross-taper onto Lexapro (escitalopram) right now.
Paxil has been hugely beneficial in my life. I took a full 6 months off when I was 19, and my anxiety just got worse and worse over those 6 months.
Definitely do not discontinue Paxil abruptly, it is one of the worst antidepressants for that. I have done it several times, both intentionally and because I ran out, and it is highly unpleasant.
I am moving to Lexapro now because I am not doing too well, and I need to try something. I need to switch things up. Best of luck to you, Paxil can definitely be a huge help with anxiety.
I haven't started it yet. My mom said it worked great until she had a weird allergic reaction to it, her body started tingling and then she was paralyzed until the ambulance can and have her a shot of benydrl. I'm afraid I would have the same allergic reaction.
So I'm going to ask to be subscribed Celexa instead.
How is the Lexapro for you? I hope things get better for you
