Paxil and vitamins
Common Questions and Answers about Paxil and vitamins
paxil
I just saw a documentary on vitamins this morning. It said that in excess or where there isn't a deficiency that vitamins can be harmful.
There is no such thing as a silly question. Thanks for asking it.
If you do decide to take a multivitamin and do have a panic attack it would probably be from the anxiety and not the multivitamin.
Thanks worried - that's some really good info! Are you good in science?? Sounds like you would be!! :)
There's no interactions between vitamins/aminos and suboxone. SSRIs and 5htp/SAMe shouldn't be mixed as the vitamins have an identical effect as the SSRIs. But if your son has just started the sub I would recommend looking into the 5htp/SAMe as well as a multi-vitamin, B complex maybe?
t know the half of it with Paxil and Effexor. An incompetent psychiatrist took me off Paxil incorrectly, and three years later I'm still a goner. No life left. Irony is, I went off it to try natural remedies, and they had the reverse effect after withdrawal. Drugs are dangerous, but herbs and natural remedies also require a lot of expertise to dose properly.
m trying to get better and have changed my diet, see someone at the clinic to talk to, and I am taking my vitamins. (now more iron and now folic acid) Really getting frustrated with this. Has anyone ever had this problem or do they give in to these antidepressants. If I was depressed I would want to take them> Fed UP Any opinions?
should i take a chance and call physician on call? would they give me paxil at the ER? i dread going to mental health crisis because i fear they might make me an inpatient against my will. in a mental health inpatient unit thats when the hell really starts. these stupid shrinks thinks everyone that is admitted must be put on a torture drug, i.e. an antipsychotic(neuroleptic). those drugs should not even be given to crazy people they are so inhumane.
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.
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'm guessing, though I don't know, that you're seeing a general practitioner, not a psychiatrist. First mistake. Second mistake, not completing your taper off Paxil, as slowly as you need to do it even if it takes a year, which it probably won't, before you try a different medication. No two meds work the same, and they don't substitute for one another.
Dear Rip,
You should see an endocronologist because you are the picture of someone who has hypothyroidism. This can be caused by some bodybuilder supplements, stuff you wouldn't even think could goof you up like this. It can also be caused by a lot of other things too, but ask the endocronologist to check your thyroid levels, and I'll betcha they are some kinda messed up.
I take these two meds, why?
I have a wicked anxiety disorder, for which I take 40 mg of paxil daily. I know paxil can cause heart and lung problems for the baby. I obviously want no harm to come to our baby but I am TERRIFIED of stopping the Paxil. The last time i tried I got the withdraw symptoms of derealization and depersonalization. it was the most horrifying experience of my life. I do not ever want to feel that again. So, any advice on this would really help.
I been taking paxil for quite some time on and off sadly, But thankfully in good news im getting married in about 17 months but i want to lose weight, i was intrested in taking some diet pills something recommended for people who take paxil cause i heard that some dietary supplements arent good to take with Paxil so if anyone can point me in the right direction i would glady like some advice as well thank you.
I just found this, and I wanted to make a comment on the chance there are anxiety sufferers who are also being treated for breast cancer. It make be a well know issue now, but when my wife began Tamoxifen treatment following her breast cancer surgery and radiation, I saw an article on TV regarding drug interaction between Paxil and Tamoxifen. We immediately mentioned it to my wife's oncologist, and he initially dismissed it and told my wife to continue to take the two drugs as prescribed.
What happens if i find out im pregnant and am on Paxil? I hear that it is very bad to be on Paxil especially during the first trimester. I definately want to come off of it-but i cant do it cold turkey being that the withdrawal symptoms are pretty bad. If, in the past, i missed a dose-I would begin feeling very dizzy and nauseaus. Im sure this affect or worse wouldnt be good for the baby either. If I ween myself off slowly-im still taking Paxil in my system during the first trimester.
He has never suffered from anxiety before. His shrink upped the Paxil to 20mg and gave him a low dose of xanax (0.25mg and later 0.5mg) to take as needed. He also takes clonozapan as needed, but both these drugs make him fuzzy or put him to sleep, so he can't function/work when he takes them. The past week has been horrendous. He wakes up terrified! Sweating, heart racing, crying, and terrified to leave the house.
My dr decided to switch my medication from Paxil 80mg to Zoloft. He didn't wean me off either. I feel very odd, like I am disconnected from myself and on edge, not as relaxed. I feel at any moment like I am on the verge of having a panic attack. My last dose of Paxil was last night. My first dose of Zoloft was this morning. 100mg morning and 100mg at night. I wonder if this will get worse over the next few days. Has anyone ever experienced withdrawal from switching from one SSRI to another.
I have an anxeity disorder that triggers OCD and Paxil has worked very very well and given me a great life since being on it. I figure I should try something different to see if it helps the weight gain and if Zoloft doesn't work, or help me to lose the weight then I will have to cut off the wine and go back on Paxil. Suffering from Anxiety *****, but I would take the weight gain over feeling freaky all the time!
RA is that reacurring anxiety?? To answer your question only ur doctor will be able to say whether it will help YOU! but in theory it should help cause Paxil is used to control anxiety disorders as well as depression. 20 years to be on Paxil is a long time, you must of been put on the drug when it very first came onto the market.
Also did you tapper off slowly or come off quick? it could be a rebound effect from not having the drug. Best to have a chat with your doc.
I did some basic Google searching, and the Paxil website does list sweating, dizziness and nervousness as possible side effects, so perhaps you were just suffering Paxil effects, not blood-sugar effects.
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.
