Hi all I was on here at the beginning of july tappering off zoloft, well I lasted all of 2 months and im now getting back on paxil. It feels like a let down to myself but I have struggled over the last few weeks and my husband has been begging me to get back on something ! Even my son has said how irritable ive been so im doing it for them really. At the moment im feeling rotten im 6 days in taking paxil only 5mg but im so dizzy I cant drive or get to work im also feeling sick. Im worried about the weight gain also so anxious like on verge of a panic attack all the time. Does anyone know how long this will last before it calms down ? Im beggining to wonder if it's all worth it. Any advice please x

I am sorry that you are going through so much at the moment. You have not let anyone down, you are actually doing the opposite in thinking of what will best help you and your family.

You have had a few adjustments in a short amount of time. It is to be somewhat expected that your symptoms are going to be a little high for now.

Give your new Rx time...it can take a few weeks. In the meantime use those coping mechanisms. Even in a busy life, you really should make it your goal to carve out time in the morning and evenings to do breathing, PMR and meditation/quiet time.

Keep posting with us as well. We care about you, and will be here to cheer you on!
