| I was very unassertive and i used to never make the first contact but i did still like to be contacted. However Id gauge it by their reaction to your advances. |

Maybe they find you too deep?
Most people want shallow talk and nothing too intellectual.. |

| I think makeup looks good but I prefer women with good skin, a fresh faced look is what I'm attracted to. I think it must be something to do with how it signifies good overall health. |

| 99.99% of us haven't had an original thought anyway so it's no loss to collective human wisdom. |

| I am 39 now and this is something that still bothers me to this day. This was after Columbine, and they sent a teacher who used to teach at my middle school because they thought she knew me better. She asked me if I ever thought about doing violence or hurting anyone at school. I was a weird kid - ... |

| Dependence is when you require a chemical to function. Antidepressants don't create an urge to keep taking them. They can lead to dependence, but not necessarily addiction. Addiction is the positive need to keep taking something, whereas dependence is the negative need to not stop taking it - at le... |

| All of those symptoms are also to be expected when Starting paxil as well, with the exception of "flu-like symptoms" which of not cased by a cold or flu are psychosomatic, so no it doesn't really sound more that psychological. Starting and stopping any anti-depressant will cause side-effe... |

| When i came of paxil i had a white face, and i was told i looked ill. If drug is used to cure a chemical imbalance, wouldnt it be logical to have a chemical dependancy? Mayo clinic talks about "withdrawal like symptoms" which sounds like weasel words. These include: General feeling of unea... |

| I also have a lot of repressed anger so when meds have put me off kilter, my mental armour is then compromised and emotions affect me more |

| All 3 of those for sure. But I honestly feel like it's a chemical withdrawal as medication time approaches. It's like a barren and harsh feeling in my head. (perhaps my dose is too low, but I'm aware that if I go higher, it becomes more difficult to come off) |

Bit of a catch 22 with the ADHD meds and bp meds for you!
The GP said that while Paxil is effective, it is very hard to come off. I even found that I was getting ready to snap by the time of my daily dose.. just quite volatile In mood, especially if I was a couple hours late! |
