anxiety and depression are two different things.

SmithKlineBeecham the owners of Paxil are nothing but used car salesmen when it comes to the marketing of thier product.

Too many doctors are mis-prescribing anti-depressants for anxiety needs.

xanax is not for depression, it is strictly for anti-anxiety.
anxiety is the cause of panic attacks not depression.

All paxil will do for a person with panic attacks is screw up the equilibrium of chemicals that is more than likely fine to begin with.

Im not a big fan of the Paxil, Zoloft, Prozac boom.
Its all do to marketing of these coporations, and has little to do with the need of the patient. Really sad.

ok im done with my soap box.
I almost feel like im back in the public health field again.
something i never want to go back to, but it just comes out sometimes
