So I'm pissed. I've been on Paxil for 2 years now and I just kept getting my prescription by going online. I haven't been to the psychiatrist for about a year and a half so someone called and said "Well, to fill this prescription, you need to get in to see the psychiatrist" so I made an appointment about a month ago. I forgot about the appointment so I called today to make another one and apparently I have to start the whole fucking process over again as if I was a new patient. That means I gotta go in, fill out paperwork (that I've already filled out), talk to some fucking jackass about all the shit I've already talked about, etc... Plus, I told the guy that I have 5-10 drinks about 3 times a week so now he wants to set me up with someone for chemical dependance. ALL I WANT IS MY PAXIL REFILLED AND I'LL BE HAPPY! Fuckers.

I wouldn't have mentioned the Drinks. Is that 5-10 every each time or spread out over the week?

And BTW...has anyone noticed how freekin hard it is to get a good psychiatrist these days...that

A) takes patients
b) Accepts Insurance
C) Won't tell you that you're just stressed
d) Doesn't have too many patients already.

I've had a string of bad shrinks, so I feel your pain. Most shrinks just sit in their chair talking about your toilet training...although I had one guy ask me about my masturbation habits and whether or not my then-girlfriend masterbated me!

And what the hell are you doing on Paxil, mate?? That shit fucked me up soooo bad...

I know, I shouldn't have mentioned the drinks...bad call. It's usually 5-10 every time I drink...I have been cutting back though because I'm getting fat.

Different drugs for different people. Paxil doesn't work for all...but then neither do the other ones. Paxil does work though.

People should be thanking their lucky stars for drugs like Paxil. Back in the 80's you had to most always combo meal it....taking different ones to counteract the others. Some made you gain a LOT of weight, Some made you sleep all day. These drugs have improved by leaps and bounds...seriously. We all give Prozac a bad name...but actually it was one of the first of it's kind that started moving these drugs in the correct direction.

Paxil is the best one for me....I've tried a couple others, but Paxil is GREAT (unless you miss a couple days - the withdrawl symptoms are fucking TERRIBLE!)

superspaceboy said:

All I know is, a class-action lawsuit was filed against the makers of Paxil. I got downright addicted to the shit...and my shrink AND the brochure on the drugs said that it didn't cause physical dependancy. Plus, the side effects of that drugs are horrendous--the "shocks," the fucked up sleeping habits...and not being able to cum until forever (though, strangely, women didn't mind this effect ). I'm a big opponent of Paxil. I know it's helped many people; a friend was on Paxil for years, and it didn't bother her none. I'm happy for her...but the drug was a hell of a lot worse than my depression.

Dude, I started having the "shocks" when I stopped taking Paxil for awhile and I was like WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!?!?!? I had NO IDEA that was a side effect until I started having them and reading about that specific withdrawl response. It's probably one of the strangest/most uncomfortable things I've ever felt. So weird.

Oh, and the whole not being able to cum thing is annoying - I can cum when I jack off, but it takes FOREVER when I'm with a girl...so annoying.
