so this is recent? no wonder you're having the crying spells. I can't deal with the back and forth. my system is all out of whack because of going back and forth with my doses. I realized it took me...
How long has it been since you went from 40mg to 20mg?...
I finally just went back to my 50mg of Paxil. I swear I feel like I will never get off this stuff. It is terrible. The withdrawals are so bad trying to get off or even taper. I have been on it since...
I posted in both places. It might have been mine. :)...
I was on 50mg and with the help of Topamax, I cut that dose in half so I'm down to 25mg. My doc wanted to keep me at 25mg for awhile so see how I do before I cut it down even further but I decided...
I was hoping to come off of it completely but my doc wants me to stay where I am for now. We'll see....maybe someday....
He knows what I did and now I am trying to get back to where I was....
I can't remember if this post was on this forum or on another one but I have searched and can't find it. I was getting antsy in reducing my Paxil and I think I reduced it too much too quick and I'm...
Anyone get swollen glands from taking Paxil? Am going to the doc today to get it checked out but I'm not feeling sick other than the boo-hoos that I can't get rid of. After 11 days back on my 50mg,...
Thanks....
I've been on Paxil for so many years that I'm almost afraid to get off of it. The withdrawals scare me to death. With everything going on right now, I don't know that I'm emotionally ready to go...
Thanks for your response. I decreased because of the sweating. It was driving me nuts. I guess I should have just stuck it out. I'm just dealing with the sweating now but hoping I feel back to normal...
Posting this in both depression and anxiety section.... Trying to figure out why my 50mg Paxil hasn't kicked back in yet. Was on 50mg for about a month. Dropped to 37.5mg due to night sweats. Stayed...
Thanks percycat....great news on the generic for you! And it's cheaper, too! Yay! As far as going back up to the higher dose after you dropped down, how long until the higher dose kicked back in...
Anyone reduced their dose and then went back up shortly after? How many days until you felt better and back to normal? I was only on the 37.5mg for 3 days before I switched back to the 50mg, and this...
Yeah, and I didn't quite give it a month to work on the 50mg so who knows? I am just so mad that I was feeling so good....I put myself back on the 50mg though so hopefully it'll kick back in shortly!...
I had a qEEG last week and I must say that was the neatest thing. They called it a brain mapping. It is supposed to tell the therapist what part of the brain is "messed up". Apparently, it goes off...
I have gradually made my way up to 50mg Paxil CR. The 50mg made me sweat too much so I asked to go back down to 37.5mg. I was on the 50mg for almost a month before I dropped back down. June 30th was...
I don't think you have anything to be ashamed about . Seems like these types of drugs are more accepted in today's society. If you ask my aunt or my dad, they will tell you to get off the drugs and...
Hi Wen....welcome back. I look forward to getting to know you. I'm fairly new to the forum. I'm glad you are back and doing well. [/quote]...
Hey there! I am so sorry to hear about what happened. I was wondering why I hadn't seen you on the forum lately. Is the BF getting professional help or therapy of some sort? Sounds like he may need...
You guys are awesome. Thanks for all the good information. Glad everyone is here to share their experiences!...
Thanks for the info. I'm encouraged by the Biofeedback. It's new to me so unless it proves to not work, I'm excited about it....
What good news! I hope the job is taking some of your anxiety away, too. It certainly is giving you something else to focus on. Hope it's working out ok!...
Wow....I must say that it was very interesting yesterday. The doc hooked something on each earlobe and one on my scalp. She had me watch a video game and apparently, my brain makes the video stuff...
I'm so glad you are doing this, girl! This is a big step for you!...
Has anyone has a QEEG done? When I go in for my first Biofeedback session today, they are supposed to do this brain mapping on me. I'm kinda excited about it but am wondering if anyone else has had...
I certainly don't hear much about it. In fact, I heard about it back around 1993 when it was offered to me and I haven't heard much about it since. Not sure if other things are more popular or maybe...
I wonder sometimes if since I've been on the Paxil for 8 years, if it's losing its effectiveness. I'm on a higher dose than I ever have been but at what point do you realize it's not working and you...
Thanks, Kitt. I have a variety of things going on right now, as you very well know, so if I can fix at least one of them with Biofeedback, I'm all for it!...
It was highly recommended to me, too, so I am going for it. I had a consult today and really like her. Wednesday she is doing a brain scan on me to see where my problems are. I'm actually kinda...
Thanks, percycat. I'm certainly having the getting out of bed problems and the boo-hoos. My husband just wants the old me back. Can't blame him. I'd like to have her, too! I'll be curious to know...
For any of you taking Paxil for depression, how long would you say it took for it to kick in? If you have/had crying spells, did the Paxil help with them and at what dosage? I've been taking Paxil...
Thanks for posting this, percycat. You're a sweetie!...
Has anyone been through Biofeedback? Someone recommended it to me and I have an appointment today for a consultation. Just trying to see what others think about it....
I was told they are harmless too but then I want to know why are they there if they're harmless. Plus, they're VERY annoying!!!! But you know this already.... /community/emoticons/smile.gif [/quote]...
I have floaters in my left eye and it's very annoying. I've tried to control them by trying to not look at the surfaces that make them more predominant but while at work and we are watching a...
TFC - I love your interpretation! I love it! It makes sense, too, doesn't it? I have a logbook of dreams that I've had over the years. Some are just crazy. I had one the other night where I was being...
Hey TFC....I'm so glad to hear you made an appointment. Just curious if it's with your primary care doc or if you found a psychiatrist. I like my primary care doc but when it comes to my brain, I try...
Anyone have more dreams than normal when on your meds? Or when you increase your meds? Seems that since I increased my Paxil, my dreams are more vivid and crazier! Last night, I dreamt that I was due...
Awww....you're sweet! I just feel for you because we seem to have similar mom issues. Seems that we relate well! Plus, thinking about someone else's problems takes my mind off of my own, if only for...
It took me awhile too....haha! ...
I loved this one! Cracked me up! ...
Yes, my dear....time to break away from being next door. Even a closeby town would be better than right next door! I hope everything works out. I guess sometimes, next door is convenient but I'm...
Look at how much I've posted in the past few days. That is probably posting way too much - haha! If I'm having a bad day, I'm going to post. You should do the same. Even if you feel like you're...
Have you thought about having her come over instead of you going there all the time? Maybe she can occupy your son while you do things around the house. Does your husband want to go to college? Seems...
Hey itsokay....how are you? Haven't heard from you in a couple of days (unless I missed your post). How are things? [/quote]...
What ever happened with this? Have you talked your husband into going to the doc yet? ...
