Since my first message, I've begun titrating myself off of Paxil again, only this time, I've been using the liquid formula. What I'd like to know is how long...

Wow, you actually had zero paxil in your body for two months and went back on? Yes, taking the paxil again does make the symptoms of withdrawing go away. Did...
Hello there, Well this is a double whammy for me. I am now coming off of Prozac. The Paxil took three months before I felt like a human being. As for the...
Verna, I had heard of people using Prozac to wean off of Paxil, from your e-mail I can tell that taking that route is not much better. Do you think the Prozac...

I copied the side effects section from the article that we've all seen. I think the word "Trauma" in the side effect section should scare most people. Good...
Hot flashes would be a joy compared to the "discontinuation syndrome" with its slew of withdrawal problems you get from weaning slowly. Oh, here's what they...
What milligram dosage are you on right now? You can try dramamine or it's OTC counterpart for dizziness, it gave me some relief. - Debbie "pontlyn2001...
Hello All, I'm new to this group and thought I would introduce my self. My name is Ed and I've tried to come off Paxil 4 times unsuccessfully. My former...
Edward, I hope you are weaning slow, it helps reduce or eliminate the electric zaps. I tried cold turkey once so I know what a full fledged zap feels like and...
Thanks Debbie! Yes, I am trying to wean slow. My first attemp was from 60mg to 50mg, unsuccessful. My former doctor tried to use Wellbutrin to lessen the...
Wowsie Edward, you are at a high dosage huh? You will need to wean slow as is your plan. Even if you just go 1-2 mg's at a time every couple of weeks, you'll...
hi Edward, I went cold turkey on may 4th, I can't lie to u it has been a night mare the dizzy spells, the nausea, the overall ilky feeling sick all the time,...

Hi all. I must say, this board is really a lifesaver. I don't post very often, but I always read what everyone else is going through - it helps to not feel so...
I basically did the same thing that you did, Jackie, but, of course, with Zoloft. When I was only taking 1/2 pill every day (25mg) I actually did quite well...
I was on Xanax for a very short time to initially help with my panic attacks, and I think those few days of Xanax actually helped more than the 16 months of...
Hi Friends, I've been on Paxil for just a little over a year now. It seemed to be working well. I felt "normal" while on it. Even when my mom passed away my...
Hi, I take Xanax as needed...usually just a .25 pill. But what I do is take one .5 at night to sleep. Also, my pharmacist says that taking Benadryl helps to...
All I can speak from is my experience on Zoloft, but what you've said is exactly what I felt when I started on the Zoloft. It's like my mind wasn't my own...
