Who else takes meds or suffers from lightweight anxiety or depression ?

It seems like more and more people these days are suffering from anxiety and panic attacks. I have had them since I was 12 years old and have been taking Paxil CR for about 7 years now. I tried to deal with my anxiety without taking any meds, but it eventually got to be too much for my and my stubborn *** had to give in. My Dad just recently got on Xanax for his anxiety and depression. Do they seem to be working for you?
