I'm new. I've been depressed for years. I'm tired of drugs, (prescription, and street) and alcohol to cope with life. I've seen too many "useless" therapists, and counselors in my life. Today I saw a doctor, who actually sat down, and listened to me. He said Paxil was not right for me. (DUH!, I've been trying to tell my primary care doctor that for years!) He's starting me on something new, so I have some hope. This is destroying my personal life! I want to be happy.
