I've been on Paxil since I was 13, and I'm 17 1/2 now. Paxil did what it was supposed to do for me, due to the circumstances that were the cause of my initial problems, they were resolved. As of now, I'm on 40MG full-release and have been on it for years.

When I go to the doctor to inform her I want off of Paxil, and don't want to replace it with another anti-depressant, but explain to her my overwhelming anxiety (not depression, or delusional anxiety, but ptsd anxiety which overwhelms my life), what are the chances she'll give me diazepam?

I recently took one, and like I said, it made me feel normal for the first time in years. Paxil numbs my emotions, and feelings, but the anxiety is still present. It also numbed me from depression. I want off anti-depressants and want on diazepam. How often is that requested, and do doctors usually grant that request?
