Hi snowy. I currently take paxil - have been taking it since 2001 and at times have stopped taking it only because I have no health insurance and it's pretty expensive. Yeah that's not so smart. While rationing helped my bank account, my anxiety and panic attacks came back in full force after a couple days without it. Right now I am taking the generic form and that doesn't seem to be working. I too think about the whole children issue and having to get off my meds to have a baby and then think "i can never have kids cuz I wouldn't be able to deal." it totally sucks because of all the 'non-habit forming' crap because in a way it is. But honestly if you are thinking of getting off of it talk to a doc first cuz I think you have to do it gradually because I know from my experience, stopping all together is not wise.

The best thing to do is to talk to your dr about it, he may be able to prescribe something for you to take during pregnancy but be sure to ask him about breastfeeding, if you plan to do that, I do not know what dosage you are on but their are lighter doses of paxil.
