paxil

Avatar f tn My doctor has taken me off of Paxil and Zolpidiem. I have been having some dizziness and nausea. Is this commom and how long will the side effects last?
Avatar n tn Alot of this sounds like anxiety combined with some Paxil w/d. How long and at what dose were you on with the Paxil? Are you tapering slowly? The one thing that has me really concerned is the squeezing sensation, numbness and pain in your leg. If this was just a case of neuropothy, like when your foot goes to sleep becuase you've compressed a nerve which in turn restricts the blood flow, walking should relieve it. I say to be on the safe side, go to an Urgent Care Clinic now.
Avatar n tn ve been on it sooooooooo long.......I have started gummies, with the paxil AND the klonopin (and a Margarita every afternoon/evening_) and I STILL CAN'T FALL ASLEEP............................................I lay there till about 4 a.m. THEN, I finally fall asleep and don't wake up until 1:00pm in the afternoon.
Avatar f tn Now that your body no longer has the Paxil, it could be that your Metoprolol dose needs to be adjusted. I would discuss with your provider when you get dizzy, ie do you get dizzy when you stand up from sitting? Do you get dizzy when you go from laying down to sitting up? Or are you always dizzy? There are medications that require a prescription that can help with dizziness. Most doctors will prescribe Meclizine to combat dizziness. I have included some information regarding this medication.
Avatar n tn I also decided to come off of Effexor, but my doctor didn't believe any of the massive amounts of information I got from reading forums of other people having the same withdrawal symptoms of it, so I am doing it on my own. I did a LOT of reading. (While I agree with the doctor that you can't always believe everything you read on the internet, hundreds of testimonials of saying the same things over and over can't all be wrong!
1035021 tn?1296820707 Hi all, I just stop taking paxil (30 mg a day) about 4 days ago, I have been taking this drug since 1 a year ago, I had to stop taking it cause right now Im low on budget and I maybe be able to buy another bottle of the medication in 2 or 3 more days. The thing is that I had in my medikit a bottle of prozac (fluoxetine) and a few months ago I bought a bottle of 5HTP so I started to take a capsule of 5HTP and a 20mg pill of prozac since paxil went empty.
Avatar n tn 12 years ago there was a class action lawsuit do to the impossibility of getting off it without withdrawals that actually killed a few people. Please see a good psychiatrist to help you with this. There is a website on Paxil tapering... It may take a year but you have to see a doctor who knows about Paxil and ssri wd, not all drs are knowledgable in this.
Avatar m tn That can probably be used with Paxil, but you have to be careful combining it with tranquilizers like Zanax and klonopin and valium. The amino acid taurine makes GABA in the body. You can take inositol but the studies that showed it working for anxiety used a lot! It's just part of the B complex, but be careful you keep up your levels of choline and phostatidyl serine, as they are in balance with inositol. Complicated no?
492016 tn?1209358653 I decided to go back and see a different doctor and she perscribed me paxil for anxiety and xanax .5mg to help me sleep if I need it. I have trouble sleepings but after reading about xanax im not sure if I want to start taking it. I started te paxil yesterday and took 1 xanax last night and felt great but still did not fall asleep until about 5:30am. Took the xanax around 8:30pm.
Avatar m tn Then Christmas comes I get the flu and boom goes my anxiety so with the New Years thought it might be best to try this switch since everytime I was getting sick I was having to increase paxil dosage. So my schedule to get off paxil and onto lexapro is as follows. I am also taking a 1/2 pill of .5mg Ativan nightly to help me sleep. Week 1 Paxil 30mg. Week 2 Paxil 20mg. Lexapro 5mg. Week 3 Paxil 10mg. Lexapro 10mg. Week 4 Lexapro 10mg.
Avatar f tn It felt like they were shocking my body. The only thing that is keeping me semi- functional is Benadryl. I take anywhere from 1-2 Benadryl a day to stop the shaking and panic. But I still have the nausea and of course, now I am tired all the time because the Benadryl makes me tired. I went to the ER and they ran a gambit of tests and said everything looked ok. Could I just now be going through withdrawal from the Effexor? If so, how long will this last? It is really affecting my life/career.
476246 tn?1418870914 Can someone please share with me, which benadryl is used for the riba rash/itch while on tx. In Denmark we have two kinds. The one taken 1 x per day and it has a 24 hr effect.
Avatar f tn I have a tip that works wonders for my anxiety and panic attacks. I use liquid dye free benadryl. I have tried celexa, lexapro, zolaft, paxil, Prozac, wellbutrin, and trazadone. They all had side effects and some of them made it worse. I stop taking all of the meds because I found I did not need them all the time just at certain times of the month. The benadryl helps by calming me and it is much safer than any meds. I hope this helps you.
Avatar n tn s just not mixing with the Paxil. I would rather deal with slight anxiety that what I am feeling now- it almost cost me my job. There should be more warnings about this. I didn't take the paxil today because I was scared, but becuase I got an anxiety attack over the suspention thing- I just took a xanex to calm me down. I haven't even been on the Paxil for 2 months, is it ok to just stop taking it?
Avatar f tn fella 25mg of benadryl. I suggest you start with half that amount.
Avatar f tn Can I take a benadryl for an allergic reaction? Somehow a cucumber got into my salad and my face, lips, and mouth is starting to swell and itch.
Avatar m tn Been drinking the last 10 years and trying to stop. My anxiety and depression are back along with stress. I took Prozac, generic, 20mg for just over 2 weeks. It did make me feel calmer and relaxed but had a hard time concentrating. My head felt numb. I then tried Zoloft but forgot why i did not like it. And recently was prescribed Paxil. 20mg. I am nervous to take this because of reading all the bad comments about it. Which of these three meds would be the safest for me to take?
Avatar f tn I told my doctor about how I itch at night and he said I should try Benadryl to help but one pill didn't do anything on the box it says I can take two but idk if I should being pregnant pease help and soon itching driving me crazy!!
Avatar n tn I suffer from panic attack and got imsonia my doctor give 50 mg of benadryl to sleep but she use to give 5mg so if safe for me to take 50 mg of benadryl to sleep.
Avatar f tn FTM and 18yrs. 21 weeks. Do any other mommys take a benadryl before bed? My doctor told me id be fine to take one before bed everynight. I have restless leg syndrome and have a really hard time getting comftorable at night and falling/staying asleep. I was just wondering if i'm the only one that does this? It helps me a lot.
7998970 tn?1435183202 Yes benadryl is safe to take while pregnant hope you get good rest!
10562950 tn?1411070041 About a week ago i went to the hospital for back pain and the nurse told me to take 2 Tylenol extra strength and 2 benadryl to sleep and take the pain away.. i skipped the Tylenol tonight because I'm not in pain but the benadryl helps me sleep through the the night with all the tossing and turning and waking up to pee. It just makes my nights better.. but it makes me feel high.. just really drowsy I guess is really what it is doing.. is it okay for my baby.....??
Avatar f tn My dr said I could take Benadryl for my allergies. I haven't yet but I'm considering it tonight because I'm so miserable and I know it would help a lot and I could get a good night sleep. Has anyone else taken it while pregnant. I'm absolutely sure my dr wouldn't have said it was ok if it were the slighted bit questionable but im still hesitant.
