Common Questions and Answers about Paxil recall

paxil

Avatar m tn I am starting up Paxil for a second time (first time was in 2003) and I recall having trouble with staying asleep the first time around when first starting up. It certainly is the problem now. I have just finished the second week on 10mg and I can fall asleep easily with 5mg or 10mg Ambien, but I now wake with a start in just a few hours, then I can't get back to sleep for the night. Very frustrating and exhausting. Is this the norm? How long will it last??
577118 tn?1233250750 I don't know if it's Paxil or the seizures. I didn't start having seizures until I was on Paxil for a little while, and I didn't have short term memory loss until after I started taking Paxil. It all correlates to the same time. I'm concerned because I have read other people having the same complaint about it. I am seeing a doctor this coming Monday, though, to find out for sure. I shouldn't have to be 22 years old with a worse memory than my grandmother.
527657 tn?1214051850 t recall having seen anything directly in the info about Paxil, but you should be able to lose on it, whether you take Paxil, or not. Good luck. Let us hear what works for you.

581516 tn?1326073019 I'm just about to start trazedone - I feel so sleepy during the day (currently on zopiclone, cipralex) Cipralex doesn't seem to address my anxiety as well as Paxil. Any feedback helpful.
Avatar m tn Just today I took a first pill of Paxil (10mgs). I was just wondering what I could expect. Right now I feel terrible like I need to vomit. I am feeling extra anxious right now too. Just keep thinking something is wrong or I am having some sort of serious side effects. Is it normal to have these side effects right away? It is around noon right now and I took the first pill at 915 this morning.
968908 tn?1274871115 t been able to tolerate going back onto Paxil, have tried several times with the same effect each time, very unplesant symptoms which after stumbling upon a web-site i have found the answer to which my doctors didn't even feel obligated to inform me about. So, after i took 5mg of Paxil roughly half an hour later i suddenly have a head rush, followed by becoming extremely hot and break out in a intense sweat, my pupils become big and i start to feel great agitation.
Avatar n tn Why was c-phen dm infant drops recalled?
Avatar m tn Thanks for the reply. Yes I think it might be a social phobic thing. Because it does happen to when I'm in public place such as going out to dinner or something with a friend. Yes I worry others will notice me more because of my issue. It can even be one friend and no one else besides us going out to a restuarant.
Avatar m tn I, personally, like Effexor. After being on Effexor XR for about 7-8 years, my psychiatrist switched me to Pristiq (which is Effexor Lite) last year because it was cheaper for me to get than the Effexor was. I can tell you this, it is the best medication for me. I'd been on Prozac, Paxil, Celexa, Zoloft, and some old-school MAOI's. But nothing, nothing, worked as well as the Effexor for my anxiety disorder.
Avatar f tn I would like to ask folks what they have used that helped their anxiety besides the benzo's. I would like to get off the .25 that I'm taking now. Does Paxil work for anxiety? Please share your sucesses over anxiety.
Avatar f tn I just started Paxil again for my 3rd time and for the life of me I can't recall having such severe headaches the 1st 2 times. I take 20mg in the morning. Around 3-4 how later a dull pain stretches across the top of my head into both temple and into both jaws as well as being my eyes. I find myself clenching my teeth together as well. I'm on day 5 and on day 3 I literally cried off & on the entire evening & all night until the pain in my head eased around 8am.
Avatar f tn When I was on it I recall the formal recommendations were generally -- and I say this because individuals don't match the generalizations necessarily -- 10mg for depression and 20mg for anxiety.
Avatar n tn My Dr. put me on Celexa for general anxiety. I don't recall ever having an actual panic attack until after I was put on this medication. I thought the Celexa may have actually been causing the panic attacks, so now I have been on paxil for a few days. I had another panic attack last night. These attacks seem to happen when I am just relaxed sitting, watching TV or after I eat. I am very confused. Is it possible that these medications can actually cause this reaction? Please help!!!
Avatar f tn what is the proper way to taper back to paxil? 3. How unsafe is paxil with pregnancy and what other options do I have? HELP! I feel like I am losing my mind!!!!
Avatar f tn I'll try to make this short and sweet. I have been having headaches and neck paid for about 2 months. Sometimes it gets really painful. It does not respond to any OTC pain relievers. I have also been feeling like my eyes are feeling funny, like they're too big for my head and won't focus properly. In the last week or so I have had a feeling like my left arm and hand are tingly and weaker than my right.
Avatar f tn could be the cause of the sinus tachycardia so he recently switched me from Paxil to Lexapro. So the Paxil is now out of my system but I am still feeling the rapid heart beat. I know it's not dangerous since that is what the cardiologists have told me but I'm experiencing extreme anticipatory anxiety as to when my heart will speed up again and that something is going to happen to me, such as fainting or dying.
Avatar n tn Can I quit the paxil and take the klonopin 3 x a day as prescribed and safely get off Paxil. I am getting fat!
Avatar m tn Also, the only one SSRI who work in the past for my panic disorder is the Paxil... but hte Paxil do nothing for the social anxiety, like all the antidepressant meds I try... anyway, the main problem is that I try to be back on The Paxil at least 10 times in 2010 and wasn't able to tolerate more than 1 mg at the time... I had increase anxiety to the point that I had to go to the ER... So I don't know what do to?
467977 tn?1262714747 I take Paxil and buspar on a daily basis. I used to only take the paxil, but I still had terrible anxiety in the morning. My doctor then added the buspar 2x a day. It helped me almost immediately. It took away that horrible nausea and anxiety by 90 % in the morning. Some people say that buspar isn't effective, but it has been very effective for me. I take Klonopin only on an as needed basis. (Which is very rarely). Hope this helps!
Avatar n tn Hi I have been on paxil for nine years.. I am currently 25 and feel like the paxil isnt working for me.. I also had tried stopping paxil for four months cold turkey.. it was HORRIBLE.... so i went back on 10 mgs.. now ive been on 10 mg for 3 years.. I just switched to zoloft over night.. as a doctor reccomended.. I am worried I will have paxil withdrawls symptons.. I really hope I dont.. I am taking 50 mg of zoloft.. i have felt ok since and its been four days... hopefully it will be fine..
Avatar n tn s a very tough drug to stop taking for most people. I will tell you I was on clonazepam and Paxil at the same time for years, but the Paxil was way more effective than the clonazepam. What may have happened is new challenges may have arisen in your life -- drugs don't cure anything, they just mitigate the symptoms but new challenges can override the effect.
Avatar m tn I am 3 weeks back on Paxil after a failed attempt to switch medications to Lexapro. I have read a lot that Paxil loses its effectiveness after the first time. I (stupidly) have started, stopped & restarted Paxil on several different occasions and it always has seemed to work. I was on paxil 20mg originally then stopped cold turkey and went back on at Paxil CR 12.5. Upped dose over time to Paxil CR 25mg.
Avatar m tn I would like information regarding the differences between Paxil and Prozac. I've used Paxil in the past, and the truth is that it is very hard to stop taking it. Right now I'm taking only 10mg (paxil) but I don't feel that is working anymore and have been thinking about switching to Prozac.
Avatar f tn t be as tired on Prozac and that it might help me better with anxiety. I chose against it. I asked for Paxil. I have read that Paxil is good for anxiety. My doc was willing to let me try Paxil so I left with a script for Paxil. I wonder if I should've tried the Prozac. I had a doc tell me once that Paxil causes significant weight gain. Should I have tried Prozac? I don't want to gain a bunch of weight or stay tired all day long.
