Just prescribed Paxil and Valium for anxiety. What to expect? (medication, father)

[waviking24]

I have had extreme health anxiety for a few years now and it recently has gotten to the point where I baaically had a mental breakdown. Im just barely hanging on to my love life and job. Finally went to the doctor and was prescribed these two medications. Anyone have any input?

Paxil helped me greatly when I began having panic attacks after my father passed on.

Talking to someone (therapist) can also help a lot, if you find a good one. It can help sort things out.

hope you feel better soon.
