No its not dangerous if he asks for it and his doctor gives it to him
there is absolutely no harm in trying it. He has taken it and it did
not work for him, ok then... that was my suggestion.. however I
suggested it to my doctor he gave it to me and it works quite well in
my case.

I agree completely with Desusa -- you are NOT this person's doctor, you don't sound like a doctor at all, yet you are giving SPECIFIC medical advice to the OP -- emphasis added:
You tell the OP what medication to take -- "go to doctor and get PAXIL that is what u need its for panic disorders."
And you tell the OP what meds NOT to take -- "Buspar is not any good u need Paxil that really works."
You say what dosage the OP should take -- "20 MG every day should do the trick for u"
You give the OP a specific timeframe for which the meds would work -- "It takes 3 weeks for it to work and u will notice nothing will worry u like it did before."
You are NOT simply saying, "I had this same problem and was prescribed Paxil. After 2-3 weeks at 20mg/day, I was doing great. Paxil might not work for you, but it could, so you might consider asking your doctor about it."
Instead, you are dispensing SPECIFIC advice regarding this medication. You have NO way of knowing what dosage is appropriate for the OP, nor how long it might take (if ever) for the meds to be effective for the OP. Every person is different. Don't assume that because it worked for you at a particular dosage within a certain amount of time that it will for everyone else. Please be responsible if you're going to give out advice.

If you can't keep the rescheduled appointment than just drop getting the EAD altogether. While it would be wonderful if you were able to overcome your fears, whether with chemical intervention or plain old mind control
if you are unable to keep this next appointment just let the matter go. Concentrate on getting yourself over this period in your time.I know it might come across flippantly but why are you worried about the BCIS? The process is not something to be so stressed out about that it causes your emotional problems. You are married? Your marriage is valid and you have proof of its validity? You don't have ghosts in your closets waiting to come out and pounce on you? You are relatively healthy physically and emotionally? You entered the US legally and have remained within status at all times? You don't have a criminal past to haunt you?
Unless there is something that might cause BCIS to deny you outright for adjustment of status, then forget about the BCIS for now and live your life as happily as a newly married couple should be living their lives.
I'm not a believer in chemical intervention for emotional issues. While I say that about myself, I am fully aware that there are people and emotional health issues that clearly warrant the use of drugs in order to live a somewhat staid life ;-) So my belief is not a put down of you or anyone else's medical needs and/or treatment.
I work through difficult situations by doing all I can in any given situation. When I have run out of ways to handle them and it appears that I can find a resolution, I consciously "give up". I say to myself: "There is nothing more I can do. I leave this in your hands to deal with and accept whatever outcome there is." Note" the reference "your hands" could be a reference to God if you are a believer, your innerself, fate, whatever.
Also the mind cannot handle two thoughts at one time. When you start thinking about the BCIS, think immediately about something else. It does work.
Good luck.

Actually that is not true and as a doctor you are fully aware that you cannot make medical recommendations without having the full medical history of the patient and hopefully, after having conducted a physical examination of said patient as well.
Just as the two resident attorney's will not give "advice" on a posters specific questions but reply in recounting antedotes from previous client files and/or case histories, you also cannot give medical advice to a poster of a specific nature. You should coach your answer in such a way as to be a suggestion that she take up with her family physician.
Just as I can take Aleve for my pain, my husband can't because of past medical history with a perforated stomach lining. His own physician missed the fact that in the past he had had two ulcers and prescribed a drug for back pain that ate through his stomach and caused him to nearly die when he lost nearly four pints of blood. It would irresponsible for you, as a MD, to tell him online to take Aleve for his back pain without having knowledge of his past medical history. It would be equally irresponsible for him to not read the label on the drug bottle first.

As for my saying perhaps you might want to forget about the EAD issue altogether, I say that because I realize that the thought of going to the BCIS office causes you to panic and therefore, not going there to get a document that you probably will not be using at all might be a better solution for you at the present time.
It is only an assumption on my part, so please forgive me if I am wrong, but if you panic at the thought of going to pick up an EAD card then will you be able to cope with job hunting, interviewing and starting employment in a new country? If not, then you don't really need the EAD for anything other than having physical proof of your status while your adjustment is pending.
It is my hope that in the months preceding your adjustment interview, you and your doctor will be able to determine a course of treatment that will help you keep the attacks to a minimum so that when you are finally scheduled for the adjustment interview you won't find yourself in the very same situation as you are in with the thoughts of going to pick up an EAD that doesn't require an interview.
Remember something that you might have forgotten. You are stronger emotionally than you give yourself credit for. You are here in the US from another country. You have married someone that you probably haven't known very long. You have left everything and everyone behind that had ever mattered to you and you are still coping admirably. When an attack starts, remind yourself of all the situations you have shown your strength in and have survived and tell yourself you can do it again.
Pulling for you.

It is my hope that in the months preceding your adjustment interview, you and your doctor will be able to determine a course of treatment that will help you keep the attacks to a minimum so that when you are finally scheduled for the adjustment interview you won't find yourself in the very same situation as you are in with the thoughts of going to pick up an EAD that doesn't require an interview.
Remember something that you might have forgotten. You are stronger emotionally than you give yourself credit for. You are here in the US from another country. You have married someone that you probably haven't known very long. You have left everything and everyone behind that had ever mattered to you and you are still coping admirably. When an attack starts, remind yourself of all the situations you have shown your strength in and have survived and tell yourself you can do it again.
Pulling for you.

Can i call BCIS and explain the situation? Do you think that they will postpone my appearence there to get the work permit together with the fingerprint? I will have more time to make the medication work!! i have all my documentation in order and , again (answering another user) I am not worry with nothing and don`t feel insecure going there because i have something to hide.
Rete, thank you for your concern and if you know something that i can do right now please tell me ok? I do prefer wait more time and like you said, all things are so different from my country( Brazil) and for me is taking more time to get used with.

Watch taking things like xanax, they can bite you in the butt with
addiction. Short term is the key there. I found no relief with Paxil.
It takes time to find what will work and what doesn't. The hardest
part is the attach its self. Try to breath slow and steady.
Treat your self to relaxing things like hot baths, relaxing massages.
Stress will really trigger some mean attacks.
I have suffered with this thing for 20 years on and off. I have found
no real cure. Just trying to de-stress (alcohol is not helpful) much
as possible. Hopefully your doctor can assist with a medication that
can help.
