paxil and vertigo

If you want to go back on the Paxil for the vertigo, ask your specialist about these side effects and your pre-diabetes state. Only he/she would be qualified to properly figure that out. Good luck with it all.

I have recently been weening myself off paxil and on to Wellbutrin. I have vertigo bad and its driving me nuts. What is causing this? and how can I make it stop?

I was on Paxil for a few months and came off and experienced massive withdrawal, worse then my previous Loratab addiction. I came off cold turkey but immediately switched to Zoloft. I was on a high dose of Paxil. The only ache I had was a massive headache 24/7. Massive!! I went back on Paxil for two weeks and I'm off again but it's odd that I have no headache but I have the most horrible back pain. I never had this before starting Paxil.

When I was a baby I burst the eardrum , as a child I suffered vertigo and constant migraines. Today I´m 21 years old and I have vertigo and panic attacks, the doctor prescribes me PAXIL but every time when we try to removed the medication I have episodes of vertigo and panic attacks again. The neurologist and Otolaryngologist made me magnetic resonance scanning and tests of vertigo and determined that middle ear is the problem.

I thought last time i was on it i gained because i quit smoking at the same time but now its been two years since I quit i went back on paxil in january and i have gained 15 pounds and I AM NOT HAPPY with the weight gain but I am happy while taking paxil. so what do I do get fat and be happy or get off it lose the weight and be depressed? Nothing else works I have tried them all so dont bother telling me to switch.

But The paxil was making me so tired and the dizzyness was still there but my doctor insisted there was nothing wrong and raised my dose to 24 mg. Not convinced that it was anxiety i seeked other opinions and a walk in clinic doctor discovered i had vertigo from 2 ears full of fluid. So with this info i returned to my doctor who also realized i had been suffering from ear infections. Funny how he didnt check this before putting me on the drug.

they say anxiety....well yes I do have anxiety and depression...if you have ever had a vertigo attack and you are spinning in your head and throwing up and cant move because of the sickness who wouldnt have anxiety....but they just wont listen when i tell them that the unlying problem is the dizziness and vertigo and if they could fix that the anxiety I feel would go away.....but they cant find a fix so I guess they arre trying to fix the anxiety which isnt working out so well for me...

I was taking 25mg of Paxil and my doctor wanted me off of it. He told me to take a pill once every other day for 2 weeks then stop. It has been a week now and I am having dizziness and nausea. I have to work and I need some help. Any suggestions and can you tell me about how long these side effects will last?

So i took a paxil and within an hour it went away. Ive repeated trying welbutron again and always within 6 to 7 days of being off paxil the dizziness comes back. Does anyone have any ideas why or what could be causing it?

Fast forward 8 months later I got a vertigo attack (first ever) and that opened the floodgates. Since this attack (3 months ago) I have not been the same. My anxiety skyrocketed. I feel dizzy and lightened everyday although the vertigo subsided through some excercises (it was BPPV). My life however is not the same. I've lost a lot of weight, I feel nauseous and sick all the time and thus anxious all the time. What triggers it is this feeling like I'm going to faint.

I now have no insurance and have stopped taking Paxil 30mg daily. I feel like ****, jittery, disorriented, vertigo, etc. I know what its from so I try not to let it get in my head. I've heard stories of seizures from stopping like this. Is this possible. I am very aggitated and go off easily. I'm trying to issolate myself so I dont go off on anyone for no reason. As long as it wont kill me I guess I just have to ride it out till its out of my system. How long is that?

My doctor send me to the neurologist because i was also having severe head spinning symptoms (vertigo) he did recommended paxil and i was taking paxil for 2 years it did help me a 20% i would say butt at the same time i felt like if i was flying and since then to i kind of forget things often and also cant concentrate. My doctor says im a healthy person but then why dont i feel healthy if it is not heart palpitations it is heartburn if it is not heartburn then it is the spinning.

I have been taking Paxil for 10 years for anxiety and depression and no longer feel it is effective. I do see a psychologist for depression but it is not totally controlled with counseling. My doctor has agreed to switch my medication. My concern is the withdrawal from Paxil.

t recommend quitting cold turkey, not because of the physical side effects but the possible emotional. the electric head and vertigo will go away and are at best nuisances. there is however, the risk of slipping into an acute depression.

She gave me Nasacort and sent me on my way. I used the spray as instructed and it actually seemed to help after about a week. I would say that I was feeling about 95% "normal." A week later, however, the symptoms returned as bad as ever. I tried the Nasacort again with no effect. This lasted for about a month before I really began to worry that there was something serious going on. I began having tremors, which I now fully believe were caused by anxiety over the symptoms.

I have been looking for a term - for the effect of SSRI withdrawal. Mine don't zap as much as it feels as if my brain swells right between the temples. No pain. No dizziness. I need the right word. When I say "vertigo", everyone thinks something else. Anyway ... I had it w/ Paxil and am now experiencing (delayed) with coming off Prozac. I won't go back on antidepressants - but am wondering what to call this - maybe brain zaps work.

Hi, so I have been on about 10MG of paxil for around a year now and I want to get completely off it. I went to the doctor 2 days ago and they suggested that I should just go "cold turkey" because I'm on such a "low" dose however I'm not sure if this is a good idea as I herd you should never go cold turkey even on low dose.

I've been trying to get off of Paxill and I'm having so much trouble. It seems so odd that the withdrawls would be so bad for a medicine that is supposed to help you would be so hard on you to quit using. I stopped taking it for a while then I went back on it because I thought it was a bad idea to just stop without talking to my doctor.

Also, I got my eyes checked out and they were deemed healthy and completely functional. I will see my doctor again after the holiday weekend.

I take paxil 25 cr now and it is working pretty good. My doc upped me to 37.5 and I noticed no difference either so went back down to 25 without a problem. I think as long as you are taking paxil going down on dose is not an issue, it's if you go off all at once but my son who is 14 and has just developed panic attacks was put on zoloft 50 mgs and it has helped him. I took zoloft first but gave me gastro problems so doc wanted me to switch.

I was originally prescribed this by a shrink for impulse control and depression and low seretonin levels due to addiction. I am 7 months clean and sober now and I want to stop it for good. Could you recommend a reduced dosage strategy so I don't feel the dissy vertigo spells that go along with trying to stop?

So I need advice about getting off paxil, and if anyone has NOT been able to get off all the way, what did you do? And also has anyone gained weight on paxil, and how did you lose it?

My husband and I are trying to have kids. We have been trying for only a few month, however, we are not young anymore (35) and I don't want to wait a year before consulting with a doctor (as it usually recommended). So here is my question: My husband has been taking paxil for the past 13 years (10mg). From the research online I found out that paxil changes sperm DNA that reduces permeability and as a result reduces the chance for pregnancy.

i have the same symtoms and im withdrawing from paxil and zoloft. I took the zoloft to help withdraw from the paxil. Im dizzy alot, feel nauseated, and feel tingling in my hands and very irritable, and moody for sure.

I take these two meds, why?
