I decided to start looking into the clinic trials for non-med anxiety treatments so that perhaps I could taper off and stop taking Paxil. Not that Paxil has ever stopped working, because it hasn’t. I just thought that maybe using an herbal medication would something better for the long-term. For the first month I’m using the 2 dollar trial and if it doesn’t do anything I can quit taking it.

So I will be starting A2X today, and then I will report on progress as we go from day to day, week to week, and month to month. I chose A2X for various reasons but mostly because of the positive reviews online. We’ll see for myself now.

The cost of A2X is close to $40 a month, and my Paxil is even more, so this would also be a saving for me. The other main reason is that I want to be done with SSRI anti-anxiety medication. The herbal alternative would be great.

I will still continue to take Paxil as I’m taking the AZX herbal pills for two weeks. After two weeks of takings A2X I will start tapering down the Paxil, eventually I will not have any Paxil in my system and then we’ll see the effects. I’m sure I will still get the brain swooshes that come when the Paxil starts to stop taking it’s effect – can’t get around that when your serotonin levels are adjusting.
