I would ask your doctor about other alternatives to paxil and Xanax.

I was on Paxil for a while and although it helped me, i reached a plateau point and had to try a different medication. By this time, i was addicted to Xanax to help me sleep to get over the insomnia that Paxil gave me.

I have a new doctor and he said they don't even prescribe xanax anymore because it is one of the hardest and has the worst withdrawal symptoms out of all of the benzos. I found out the hard way how true that was. Had I known that about the xanax, I probably never would have tried it.

How bad is your anxiety? You can try the route of natural suppliments as suggested.. might be the best place to start instead of just jumping into the water.

Hello, I also have panic attacks/anxiety and was prescribed Paxil. I took it for 5 days and stopped as it made me feel horrible. I also have a friend who was on it for a year and strongly recommended not taking it. I would try taking natural supplements/vitamins before drugs. Hope that helps.
