hi, i am new to this board altho i have been reading a lot of the posts for awhile now. well, i need some help, and i have some questions, and i was hoping you all could maybe help me out. i have pretty bad panic attacks coupled with agoraphobia. a lot of the problem also comes from anticipatory anxiety. it had seemed to have gone away for awhile, but just recently it has come back and it is horrible. i can't even drive by myself or pick my daughter up from school. went to my family dr. and he prescribed paxil, 10mg to start. now - here is the thing - one of the major triggers for a panic attack for me is taking meds - thus the problem. i freak out pretty much everytime i try to take this little itty bitty pill. then i found the "paxil database" website and needless to say i am scared silly that i am going to have awful side effects, withdrawls, etc. i am really scared of dying. i am really not sure what to do. i don't feel overall "depressed" - aside from the fact that i feel like i can't do
anything for fear of having a panic attack. does anyone have any advice / experience? i really need some help.thanks,
laura
