Just stay chill, folks—take your meds if you need them, it’s a lifelong thing, no biggie.
I know people who have been on stuff for 40 years and still make it to a great old age, while others... well, you know how it goes.
You can't really change reality—you either accept it or you fight it head-on like a man.

I'm sorry, I missed whether you mentioned exactly which medications you're on, but if you're only taking Xanax, I have to say your psychiatrist isn't being very responsible. He's filling you up with anxiolytics that create a massive dependency rather than actually treating the root cause.
Are you taking an antidepressant?
Xanax won't impact your sex life, but antidepressants definitely can; they aren't the same thing.
If I were you, I wouldn't increase the Xanax dose, or perhaps look into switching to something else entirely, because Xanax isn't going to cure you or provide long-term relief.
I'd love to know who this doctor is! 🙄
By the way, if you need something during pregnancy, you can take Ativan; it shouldn't harm the baby. 👍

Soryy cow, I didn't catch that you were tapering off Paxil. I've only been on it for 27 days myself, and honestly, I haven't had many side effects—nothing serious, anyway.
And yeah, I'm taking Xanax alongside it, obviously, like a little side snack, but the antidepressant is definitely the MVP here.
So, how long have you been on it?

Hang in there, everyone! 😘

Guess I actually did 🤷

Roger Rodriguez said:Thanks, ladies, I truly appreciate the support. I am trying my best to keep it off my mind, but it's always lurking in the back of my head. Last night, I actually had a dream where I was crushing my Paxil just so I could snort it to make it kick in faster.🙄.
It's true, I don't have much of an option. I either power through even when I feel terrible, or I go back up to 20mg and spend the next few years trying to taper down again.
Charles James3, I don't know the specifics of your situation, but I really hope everything turns out okay.👍

Who isn't dealing with that stupid sense of worthlessness or feeling totally detached from the rest of the world? Just stick with the antidepressants, try to find something small to enjoy, focus on something positive, get outside, walk a bit, maybe hit the gym... eventually, things will settle down.👍

Everyone’s got some kind of inner strength buried somewhere deep inside
and we gotta dig it up somehow—even if it takes until the end of time—but let’s be real, it’s hard to get there without help from antidepressants, Paxil, or maybe some Xanax every now and then 😉
We’re all basically in the same boat here, just trying to make it through the day and hoping we wake up tomorrow feeling like this whole mess was just a bad dream. But
one day it will happen, hopefully, and that’s how we’ll manage to push through these dark thoughts about ourselves and life in general,,,,,,,,
