| I moved long-distance for a job. Definitely not content with my current social life; I cannot relate to my co-workers either. They are all older professional people. Haven't found a hobby to wet my feet with. I used to have friends (at my old place) that break-danced and boy was that interesting. Al... |

| Paxil gave me the spontaneity to act in front of people beyond my anxieties. However, this has also led to me throwing myself into situations where I offend people. Especially after I end up irritable but am too involved to run away! My wife gets seriously offended that I act like myself now. She al... |

| I was diagnosed as a child, but the only thing that changed was that I was given more support in school. I grew up pressured to be emotional, responsive, and interested in others for the sake of being interested. To compliment and harmonize, not analyze and stand strong on what matters. To never ch... |

| (Adult male, 27 years old with HFA) I have high functioning autism (not aspergers), due to the distinction of childhood language delay. I am currently on an SSRI Paroxetine (generic Paxil). It has worked great in terms of my coinciding anxiety symptoms; and since it is for anxiety I was suggested to... |

| I am married for less than a year now. Only person I have been able to accept to hug and smell is her. It has been nice so far. Minimal drama so far; she believes I use autism as an escape not as an excuse; plus she does not believe the HFA diagnosis I have anyway. I have no long term insipirational... |

| My generic Paxil (Paroxetine) 20mg. For handling my anxiety issues mostly. I've been on it for 7 months so far; it's benefits kicked in on the third month. It was a very gradual benefit; that my family logged for me. I did not feel like I changed at all because of it's gradual effect. However, accor... |

Not sure if this is relevant; but my doctor prescribed generic paxil from walmart before my health insurance ended.
I can buy generic Paxil, 3-months worth, for ten bucks at walmart without health insurance. I have 2 or 3 times to renew.
Maybe check if they have generic effexor? |

| I always acknowledge little kids as innocents. No matter how bratty others may see them; I can never get mad at them. It just is not fair to get mad when they can't understand. I probably make the ultimate baby-sitter. I usually end up helping in community events (i.e; fundraisers) where they end up... |

Second generation and third generations, have no citizenship if they go to a bordering country; they get thrown into refugee camps, with no intent to integrating them. So they stagnate in depressive camps. People BOR... |

| From their point-of-view, the west is Israel's greatest ally. Lending money, and then forgiving those loans. Also doing business with them, despite many of Israel's non-humanitarian methods have been exposed; or border-treaties being respected. |
