I was on Paxil in the 7th grade and I tried to kill myself, apparently paxil causes suicidal thoughts in like 1 out of every 100 person, guess which one I was.
I think I have read that anti-depressants can have that effect on adolescents. I am sure there are options out there for you and as long as your current doctor knows about your Paxil situation...they should be able to steer you in the right direction. Sorry you are going thru this, as I have seen first hand how hard anxiety can be on someone...but the Zoloft and the Lexipro made all of the difference in the world for my loved one. The Lexipro didn't cause the weight gain that the Zoloft did, btw.
