I'm currently on Paxil (or the Little Pink Pills as I call them) and prior that it was something else (the Little Blue Pills). I see these ads for Paxil on TV and it makes me mad cause they're marketing it as medication for Social Anxiety Disorder, and being a sufferer of the aforementioned malady, it pisses me off that it does nothing for the disorder that I haven't managed to do on my own. I was nervous about it at first. However, the medicine is helpful because it provides a hand out of the hole I've managed to dig myself into. Anti-depressants are nothing to be ashamed of, no more than you should be ashamed of taking pain killers or antacids.

Therapy helps, too, of course. :)
