No game 14,437 Posted January 30, 2013 How are you feeling right now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fyre_storm 1,412 Posted January 30, 2013 To be honest extremely soar. She prodded me a good deal. The pain is kinda thriving but not bad as the other night. Oh I've been upping my potassium by eating peanuts and bananas. But still going to my pcp next week and also asking to get on Paxil. Do you think a pcp can write that?

No game 14,437 Posted January 30, 2013 I think they can but they may want to send you to physiatrist appointment first.. They will be able to help chose the right medicine I should say I know they can, mine does.... But that's because I've been through all the therapy, Physiatrist stuff ...

tigerbelle 328 Posted January 30, 2013 I have known PCPs to prescribe antidepressants without requiring psychotherapy or counseling...I think it depends on the reasons...I recall that when I first went on an antidepressant (I am on zoloft), my PCP would not prescribe it unless I was also seeing a therapist concurrently...hang in there, fyre Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fyre_storm 1,412 Posted January 30, 2013 Is Zoloft better then Paxil!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No game 14,437 Posted January 30, 2013 Yeah.. they probably just made me go through the physiatrist cause I'm a special kind of crazy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doreen70 268 Posted January 30, 2013 Not a huge fan if Paxil. Took it after third baby was born. Once on it, I gained over 100 lbs. it was difficult to wean off of as well. I recommend Viibryd. Works well with anxiety type issues. Wellbutrin is another good choice, with the least amount of side effects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lessofmeismore 1,405 Posted January 30, 2013 I like Zoloft especially if you have anxiety with depression Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mandymae 28 Posted January 30, 2013 I'll second the pass on Paxil. I gained 30 lbs on it and demanded to be switched. I take lexapro now, although I've heard similar things about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AussieLady 521 Posted January 30, 2013 Alright, enough is enough! If those doctors over there don't get this sorted soon, I am coming on over there and drag your arse back here to Australia and get this sorted. You tell them there's a big Aussie lady coming and I don't take any crap! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No game 14,437 Posted January 30, 2013 It is really hard coming of Paxil! She's right! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fyre_storm 1,412 Posted January 30, 2013 I may or may not have anxiety but since aussieladys dragging me to Australia and I hate flying I may need an anxiety one. Hmm I guess I'll read up on these pills. God why did it come to this?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
