I'm on Paxil and have been now for three years. It controls my anxieties and manic depression as well as post tramautic stress. I can leave the house and cross the street also. I'm ok most of the time as a passenger but getting behind the wheel and I just freak out. Suggestions?

If you stopped drinking, that is good. The Paxil and many other psych meds are only for a temporary ease off the drink, if that is why you are on it. The side effects you get when you stop drinking often are confused with anxiety disorders. If you had the courage to stop drinking and are in a 12 step program, you can do anything you set your mind to. Take a friend along the first couple of drives and keep it simple!

I would suggest that you still don't drive your car because of
your condition which could be dangerous on the road for you
and for others too. Although you may think that by taking some
medicine such as Paxil will control your anxieties and manic
depression, it will be foolish to take the risk of driving by your
self and besides you may just freak out. Thus it's much easier
to have someone drive you whenever you want to go or may
be take a bus ride instead.

No, i do no longer. My dad and mom the two in simple terms approximately continuously inebriated and subsequently did no longer care if I drank or no longer, and so I often did as a youthful teen. (I actually can no longer keep in mind a time while my father hadn't been eating). eating at a youthful age became into additionally extra socially perfect in that society than it is the place we live now. i do no longer think of I gained something from the loose reign. I want to no longer drink in any respect now (will do on occasion at social activities, etc. yet do no longer save any alcohol at abode). the main needed element, for my area, is modelling healthful eating behavior, and not arising a "badass stigma" approximately eating. it is real that countries with bigger criminal a protracted time, have extra problems with binge eating and youth, which particularly isn't a coincidence. i think of that I do kind healthful eating behavior yet i do no longer enable them to drink.

just take a deep breath and do it. if you never take the chance you will end up worse and possibly not even coming out of your home. what i mean is you are letting your anxieties control your life. start controlling your anxiety. it will work if you take it one step at a time. good luck.
