Hey bernie!!!
Sorry I shortened your name, but it's easier for me. Anyway, I'm sorry you have the problems with Paxil. Like I said, it made me have lots of episodes and crying in the middle of the day for nothing. My friends, and youngest daughter would come by and I'd be a basket case. They were trying to convince me to seek further treatment. I had thought that it was hormonal, since I was told I would go into menapausing at 46. That didn't happen until I turned 51. In the meantime, I was having female problems and had to have a biopsy on my cervix or something....I was spotting all time and I thought it was cancer. I was wigged
out!!!! The results came back negative. So they wrote it off
as hormone imbalance. I ended up with cancer in my left breast, and went thru surgery and radiation 4 years ago.
When they operated on my left side a second time, I was already being prepped for a hysterectomy and bladder repair. Both had prolapsed and raced to the bottom. I think
the bladdr won!!! hahahahaha...................anyway, as time went on I developed more depressive episodes and finally
went for another opinion. It was what I suspected..........bipolar disorder. I have 1, as I have the manic and depression.

Sorry I babbled so much........like I said, sometimes I can be real chatty!!!
