Try a psychologist to help work through it..they don't prescribe meds but can help with coping techniques to make it go away over time

Can you get through it without meds? Alot of people rely on medication but when you stop it, you will still have the same problems. Can you work through it?

I have had bad side effects from many. I do believe that since you have only tried paxil you have not given other meds a chance. Some people it takes a couple before you get the right one. I was scared too, but my doctor said none of these pills can kill you. I kept trying because the alternative was still having anxiety. I was never ever able to take anything, but have gotten better over the years doing it natural. My mom and sister both take meds and they work wonders for them. good luck to you.
