Got my pills today

Went to the Psychiatrist and got prescribed some Paxil. Apparently it's good for what I got... but who the hell knows.

--Start side note--

It kind of scares me. Here I've been seeing a Psychologist, someone who sits down with me... asks me questions... and really seems to be trying to find the root of my problem. Then I go to a Psychiatrist... talk to him for 15 minutes... he asks me really generic questions (which I easily could've lied on), and right away prescribes some drugs =\

--end side note

So yeah... didn't take any Paxil yet. Decided I'm not going to start until tomorrow morning. It's a daily thing, though. He gave me 5 week's supply, so now I gots to take my daily pill >_<.

I really have fears or doubts taking it. For those of you who didn't catch my last post, I have like a fear of drugs.... I don't even take Aspirin. I've decided that I'm going to force myself though... mostly because of my parents. I can tell they're really worried about me (more so than I am).

So yeah... that's all I've come to say. Maybe after taking these pills I'll magically become happier and more energetic /wwwthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif.

Hey man, good luck. I hope it helps. But sometimes, one needs to ask the question: Is there really a problem? I've been at that point before and battled through. Maybe the drug will help you. I don't know what to say. Hang tough. You can do this.

Good luck dude. My experience with the psychiatrist was similar to yours. But the shit he prescribed me really helps. It is also helpful to continue working with your psychologist while the meds take effect. Cuz that is the person who spends the quality time to see what's up with you. The psychiatrist is going to be a lot more generic in his treatment of you. One manages meds, the other manages your mind.

He should at least give it a try for the duration of his prescription. Meds work differently for each person - we all have different levels of chemical interaction in our brains. There are lots of variables.

Yeah but that is an overgeneralization. A lot of them help people. The best ones treat their methods as a work in progress rather than an absolute science.

Paxil is percribed to people with Social anxiety disorder, or (social phobia) Basically it's a fear of social situations. Most of the time people with the disorder are afraid that they are being watched, or judged at all times. It's also used for severe depression if I'm correct... I'm not sure what your situation is, or the severity of it. Whatever it is, good luck- hope the new medication works for ya man, from what I've heard it's a good pill.

I don't dislike doctors. I've known some very good doctors, who got into the profession just to help people. Now dentists on the other hand... I'm afraid of dentists :D

I love my dentist. He hooked me up with some *major* dental work. I hadn't been in 5 years due to lack of insurance, plus I have bad teeth.

He fucking rocks. But see, I had to go so much that drilling and novacane became standard to me. Plus, I'm a mashochist. ;)

I had braces for 4 years. Why? Because I moved from Arizona to Ohio after 2 years of braces. After the denist heard about it, he refused to treat me since I was leaving. Of course it took some time, and when I got to Ohio the denist here told me that going so long without tightening had messed somethings up... being that as it is, he practically redid the braces and set up a know new plan for me. He was just a dick though, if he could tell I wasen't wearing my rubber bands, he would make me feel pain and tighten those fuckers just a LITTLE bit more. Saying, "So... why didn't you wear your rubber bands... *CRANK*... *DRILL* mwhahahahahaha!!!". Exactly like that too. Which is how I developed the conclution that dentistry is a on a platform of pure satanism. My teeth were never THAT bad, but my parents insisted on paying the 3000 dollars for me to be tortured. One denist actually TOLD me that if I forget to brush, he could MAKE me remember... *shudders*

Well, wait and see, I guess. For years, I've been on stuff for depression. I think it may have helped me through some times (unfortunately... although it's hard gauge, I have a suspicion that it isn't as effective as it used to be... that can happen after a while with some medications).
Lately though, I've come to the realization that my tendencies toward procrastination are more than just a bunch of bad habits... thinking about the least of my responsibilities can make my heart race in response to a sense of panic, and it isn't because I'm just a coward, because in anything other than addressing {my personal responsibilities and certain social situations}, I've found myself capable of bold action. I can sit down to do an assignment and right before I actually get started, my mind is flooded with so much panic I feel like tearing myself apart. So I'm starting to take some moderate doses of anti-anxiety medication... I'll see if it helps...

That's downright creepy.

Damn it... if I were the Psychiatrist I would have prescribed Zoloft, but then again that's just me...

Trust me, you'll most likely feel better. HOWEVER, know that there is such thing as too much medication. If you do start getting loopy, or having side effects, GET OFF IT IMMEDIATELY!

Well... there can be some side effects initially. It's important that he lets his brain chemistry run its course for a while. The meds could turn out to be very helpful.

Anyway, I use Celexa and I never met anyone who's using it. But it works really well for me.
