Christmas with Paxil

Just about a year now, since i had that horrible withdrawal from peroxetine/paxil. Something i hope i will never experience ever again in my entire life. It ruined my whole Christmas and New Year's last. I was not at the time, experienced in the whole prescription/ getting pills, refills etc.. the Dr's office was closed, and i ran out of paxil and i thought i was shit out of luck. I know that could of been prevented now, not then.. if i only knew. The doctor gave me no information about the drug.. the only thing he said is "here take this to the pharmacy, and thanks for coming."

I can totally identify! I was in a Paxil coma for 6 years,I of course didn't know why I didn't care about anything or why everyone I cared about didn't matter to me. I just kept upping my dose and eventually just decided I didn't want to increase. So, I weaned off of it, with HORRIFIC withdrawals! It was like all of these emotions that had been numbed by Paxil came all at once and the brain zaps, dreams, and physical things were unreal. Now I am trying to pick up the pieces...with Gods grace!!!

head shocks are not joke. I think if anyone needs anykind of antidepressant they should got to a mental health facility if they have access to one because they will at least start you out ona low dosage of what they think may be the best choice for you and then they even want you to come back each week and keep contact withyou during the adjustment period and help you change scripts if that is what is needed. to be fair to paxil everyone is different and what works foryou is diff for others

I know the feeling of paroxetine/paxil withdrawal, drs. don't caution their patients about it, i thought i was going to die...it started with the brain zaps, and a sound in my head like a strong wind (whooshing sounds) the pain in the muscles and bones, the sweating, and omg the nightmares was terrible.

I'm back on paxil, it's the withdrawal i can't deal with.

i hope you're feeling better.
