I forgot to answer your question, I am sorry, I do not have a history of sciatic in fact one of my "good" parts were my feet and my legs and lower back they never hurt, now that has changed, I hope its my mattress, but ever since the antibotics I have been aching all over and my stomach is shot, always burning and nausea. I hope the Paxil is not causing this, last time I took it it increased my appetite and made me hungry all the time, I worry with all these meds my liver or spleen or pancreas has been damaged, and of course then my panic escalates, like last night when I woke in that terrible pain with the shooting pains down the front and back of my legs I got scared and my stomach started churning and queasy. I got well before from this panic Vickers, will I again? For 11 months except for a few times I was fine, I so want to be like that again, will the paxil eventually work again and ease my symptoms, I guess I need reassurance, I fear this anxiety and panic which for years have emotionally harmed me now are causing physical things, you are always comfort and reassure me, you have that gift for people I think, I wish I had your wisdom. GOd bless, Debbie.
