Paxil is not a benzo. It will not assist with the withdrwal. get a new doctor.
If you end up taking Paxil, I assure you, the pain may be far worse. Unless you're taking like 10mg Xanax or something. what is the dose you're trying to kick?

still on 4mg xanax. but depends on days. on weekends, i take a little more(xanax) to party. so your suggestion would be to NOT fuck w/ paxil at all right?

Paxil has horrible side effect and to my knowledge does absolutely nothing for anxiety.
If your looking for a non-addictive med for anxiety management you should check out Buspar. If your doctor was at all worth a shit he would have suggested this way before Paxil.

Your doctor knows enough not to have you quit xanax cold turkey, right? With a 4mg per day habit you better ween or you'll be in some serious pain.
Hey, do you have a link for that anabolic board?

Muscles are not attractive.. sorry, most chicks agree..
Paxil = SSRI = nothing to do with benzos..
