The bottom line is that EVERYONE reacts differently on the same medications one person with paxil can have a shoit load of problems and another person can have no problems.

Which is why prescribing doctors are required to give accurate information to their clients, answer their questions and have follow up appointments to address any side effects THAT person is going through.

You can research all these meds and end up totally confused with this person having this problem with paxil and that person having no porblems and the same with all the other medications.

you want accurate information and want to know what you should expect -

only the prescribing doctor can tell you that based on your reactions to other medications and the accurate information he has from a professional point of view.

If he supplied you with information use that to make your decisions not base your decisions on what everyone else experiences.

Its your body and you and your doctor know your body that is where your focus should be when making medication decisions.

In general AD's work for some and don't for others. And it is unprofessional of a pdoc to send a client home to do research regardless of how proactive they are. My doctor knows Im proactive so he makes sure I come home fully informed and the decision of medication is made between him and I discussing the pros and cons not by random reseach on the web that can result in getting misconceptions and misinformation of that medication.

That professionsal shoud have given you all the pros cons and answered your questions and the two of you should be making the decision based on truthful accurate professional information Thats the bottom line.
