“I am constantly worried about anxiety in certain situations, and beyond them, which greatly interferes with my life. In principle, in a psychiatric hospital, I never lie, and considered herself a mentally healthy person. To eliminate anxiety doctor has ordered me to take paroksin (or fluoxetine) (daily, gradually increasing dosage) + diazapam (if absolutely necessary) I read the instructions to these drugs and found a huge list of side effects, besides read that at least one of them is a tranquilizer. I have a doctor friend, who heard about these drugs, strongly advised me not to take them, because according to him, after long hours they are very detrimental effect on the psyche. Because these drugs do I have to take a very long time, I was concerned about the question how dangerous this kind of drugs, whether they cause dependence, which is expected of them and whether to start them?
