Paxil users? Anyone that takes it?!
Question: I take 30mg of paxil a day. Now before I taook this med I was a worry wart and looked at everything in a bad way. Nothing in a good way. Now that meds have fixed all the Neg. thoughts. But my wife says this little happey pill has calmed me down and I dont worry about stuff others should worry about. I do take care of bussiness and my family very well. But I dont worry about things that might happen or could happy. I see the bright side of everything.
Is this a bad way of seeing life and issues. I think the med is doing what it is there for.
What do you think??

It's not a bad way of seeing things at all. Maybe you and your wife can talk to your doctor about it. I hope she can learn to understand and to support your mental health treatment.
I took Paxil for about ten years or so, now I'm taking Cymbalta.
I have a similar situation. My wife worries about things too much sometimes but I'm the one on medication. It's a strange world sometimes isn't it?
i agree with you, i have taken paxil about 4 years now and can't believe how many years i suffered from depression before. i do see your wife's point - maybe. i have noticed in myself some tendency to say f*** it or manana. tomorrow. and not take care of things that need doing now. so i suggest you look inside and see if you're doing that. be honest. stay happy. :-)
Um, I don't think it's true. I have been taking that pill too on and off for a while-- it seems like when I'm on it, I worry about all of the things I *should* worry about and get over worrying about all the other extraneous stuff that is not worth spending time obsessing over.
No it is not a bad way of seeing life issues and if you think and know the pill is helping you keep taking it..We ll need help in this life cause its hard from time to time..So don't feel guilty or bad that you are feeling good..I am very glad that it is helping you! Take care and God Bless.
I've taken Paxil before and found it effective with minimal side effects. I found it helpful in starting my journey out of a deep depression. I began to leave the negative thoughts behind which freed me to deal with the here and now. I'm glad you have had success with this drug.
Just because you don't worry doesn't mean you can't be responsible and prepared. If you're responsible and prepared, then why worry? Worrying never solved any problems, especially about things you cannot control.
I'm happy for your recovery. God Bless you and your wife.
