Little yellow pill
Behold, the last yellow pill.
From now on, I'm officially off Paxil. Don't get me wrong, I don't and I didn't hate the medication. When I got it, it was absolutely imprative and I wouldn't have been able to cope without it. It made me happy and content, and helped me to get back on track with my life. In a way it probably made the spiritual journey I've now started possible, as it brought me calm I've never experienced in my life before.
It doesn't mean either that I'm not happy to be off it. I am, and I feel good - I feel I'm able to cope and I feel happy. Maybe not as calm as before, but I can deal with it because of lessons I learned while on it.
I hope I'll never ever have to take it again - but then again I'm happy that the option is there should I need it.
