Glad things went well for you. I didn't read the previous thread so, just glad it worked out in the end.
I've never been on Paxil, either. But, I have GAD and have never taken anything for it at all. I get so nervous it makes me physically sick. And, I get panic attacks, too. Despite all of that, I have no desire to seek help for my anxiety, and thinking about taking medicine for it also makes me nervous! (Isn't that funny....)
I've read that us folks with high anxiety were essential to tribal survival back in the caveman world. Us hyper alert people get nervous about every little thing and therefore alert the others.

So just in case any saber tooth tigers come along we're all pretty safe here.
