Emily - Don't wait! I waited nearly 4 years before I actually accepted that I NEEDED help! I couldn't do it by myself! And there IS help out there for you!
I've been on 20mg/day Paxil for 2 1/2 months now, and I can say only one thing - YES!!! I'm finally able to feel good every day again! My kids are all the better for it, and my husband now has a partner he can enjoy just being with again!
I understand your hesitancy where the association of medication and 'psychosis' can be enough to make you shy away from taking any meds. However, those medications are there for HELPING us where we can't fix it ourselves - hopefully you can get past that fear and ask for/get the help from your doctor that you deserve. You won't be sorry for it, you'll be healthier and happier for it.
