Thank you Jenny and Charlie,

I guess I need to stick it out a bit longer. When I first took Paroxetine it took some time to take effect. After several weeks I slowly came to realise that I wasn't worried about anything anymore. And that worried me. But such is the life of a hypochondriac ...

I know it sounds silly, but after reading the experiences of people here, I am slowly starting to realise that I am not terminally ill, just scared.

The human mind is a bl**dy powerful tool, and can play the most devious tricks.

Thank you again.

Andy
