Well ~ I hate to tell you but Ambien is very addictive ~ I'm definitly hooked - my doc just put me up to 20 mg/day which is a very high dose - the pharmacist even took me aside to tell me this - talk about feeling like an addict. Anyway, I'm not doctor but I've been on anti-depressants for a long time and there are so many out there that I would suggest talking to your doc about your concern and possibly trying a different anti depressent - from what I know Paxil is not a very strong drug so I would imagine your doc could put you on something else to help your depression - just an idea! Hope this helps. If you need someone to talk to about this feel free to email me. Ali
