Interesting question....I have been on several different anxiety meds for over 25 yrs to help with my Agoraphobia (Panic disorder). I have been on Paxil 30mg (Dr.changed to 40mg 3wks ago) 1x daily for 10yrs along with Xanax 4-6 mg daily. Started Effexor XR .75mg 1x daily about 3weeks ago to help deal with my BC.
I had heard that Paxil could be linked to breast cancer and asked my oncologist 5 yrs ago who research this and could not find any links.
I have not thought about this for years and perhaps it's time for me to do more research on my own.
I will let you know what I find.
