yes it's an SSRI, take the prescription from him and throw it in the trash at home, then call about 2-3 weeks later or at your next visit with your doctor and tell him "this paxil(or whatever they give u, celexa seems to be thier favorite at the moment, dunno why, just don't take them, they are worthless crap) works great for my depression, i feel alot more energetic and happier but i can't stop worrying about everything constantly" "is this a common side effect of paxil?" he'll say "yes, bleh" then say "is there anything you can give me to control that side effect, it's really bothering me, i haven't gotten barely any sleep this week because of it?"(if you are like 20 years old or younger having a pro-drug parent with you will help out tremendously, i wouldn't have #90 1mg kpin a month if it didn't, especially at 18 years old when i got the script originally, have your mom or whoever say "i've takin ativan before, that would probably help him with the anxiety." then say "what's that?" when your mom mentions ativan, your doctor will tell you it's a benzodiazepine and it's addictive and that he doesn't want you on it forever) he'll say "yeah" *scrible* *scrible* and probably give you a prescription for ativan or klonopin(i don't understand why doctors always choose those two benzos, they are just as abusable as the rest.) this is ok for right now, when you run out of the 10 or so that he gives you to start out with, wait 3-4 days then call and let him know that they worked very well when you were taking them but now you are just back to how you were before(constant worrying etc..) if everything goes as planned you should get another script and keep getting them indefinitely if you complain enough. you might have to try this with multiple doctors, like i did, before you get monthly scripts, good luck.
