Thank you, Sunrise, Tara and Echoes, for your supportive responses.
I should add, that I am not advocating that everyone should go off these drugs. When I began taking Prozac 17 years ago, it served a great purpose for me, and was a godsend. I was resigned to taking one form or another of this medicine for the rest of my life, and that would have been okay, but I've been so apathetic in the last few years, and I suspect it is the Paxil. It will be an adventure to see how I perceive things without the meds. I'll keep you posted.
Love
Patty
