Help me please.

I am a 21 year old female. I had a panic attack about a month and 1/2 ago. Ever since ive been sick and im just now feeling better, but im anxiety and fear of it happening again has not gone away, i seem to control it. Last night was the first time I went out to a friends party and i did ok. But then we went out to eat and I still have trouble swollowing, like im going to choke. I was given Paxil 20 mg but i dont think i should take it. Im scared of the side effects and what will happen after i get off it. I dont want to be on it for a real long time i just want to be the girl i used to be! But i cant stop thinking about my heart starting to beat so fast i think im going to stop breathing and die. Please help me...My questions are should i take the paxil, or is there something more natural, like i heard of seredyn, does that work? Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks!! Nik

Yeah, Well I am switching doctors because my doctor *****, and i should have just stayed away from here cause people are more "i dont want to sound mean" than "itll be fine" So peace to you too.

Hey Sweetie,
There is absolutely no limit as to how many times you can post here, but you've asked basically the same question three times now and all three times you've been given the one and only answer possible. Go back to your doctor and discuss your fears and anxiety about the Paxil with them.
Or, you can keep asking the question over and over here and getting the same response over and over.....that choice is up to you.
I don't want to sound mean, which I'm sure I do, but short of hauling out my can of whoop butt, you now have your answer.
And do please come back, join the forum, it's FREE, and let's us know what you finally decided. We will be with you all the way!
Peace

Click that link over there and JOIN our litttle community, won't you?

The situation is that you were given a drug that you are afraid of and won't take. Obviously, your doctor hasn't told you enough about it for you to make an INFORMED decision on your own. And while you can take an opinion poll HERE, that's all you are going to get -opinions.

Natural? Not natural? It is ALL natural -stuff that exists in nature we put together in various ways to make things happen. Just like bread. You'll never find a more chemical food than bread -and folks have been making it for thousands of years and regard it, somehow, as very basic and life-giving stuff. If we wanted "natural," we would go eat raw wheat.

So, what you need to know more about is the Paxil. That's a chat with a medical professional to whom you can lay out all your concerns.

So, kiddo, make the call!

I hated that swallowing thing when I had panic. For me, klonopin, zoloft and lots of therapy took care of the problem. Your mileage will vary.
