Avatar f tn My Doctor put me on Remeron to help get me off of Paroxetine (Paxi) It really helped as I was having some bad withdrawl symptons from the Paroxetine. The biggest effect it had on me was that it let me sleep through the night instead of waking up in a panic at 3am.
1563026 tn?1295031701 So once person is off ssri, their serotonin levels are low and can't get back to the way they were before taking ssri? And what is considered long term ssri usage?
Avatar n tn Just go to your pills and take one, it'll stop. You must wean off your medicine VERY slowly to prevent those electric zaps, so back off on the dose, a small cut every three or four days until you feel normal, then cut again, until you reach zero. But anytime you have ANY problem getting off a drug, get up and go take a pill and you'll make it through any rough patches.
Avatar f tn Of course being a worry wart I researched Paxil online and found a study that suggested Paxil is the worst SSRI to be on and that it is the only one that may increase my breast cancer risk. I was wondering how true these statements are and should I ask my Dr to switch me to another SSRI just in case. I am 55 years old and post menopause. I did have a biopsy in 2003 for microcalcifications that turned out to be benign and all Mammograms since have been negative.
429949 tn?1224691579 Has anyone had any problems with the SSRI Paxil. Any visual problems or side effects after starting this medicine?
Avatar n tn ll see new warnings not to combine tamoxifen with certain SSRIs..paroxetine, fluoxetine, and sertraline. .... Women have a higher risk of breast cancer recurrence if they take tamoxifen along with paroxetine, fluoxetine, or sertraline... but NOT citalopram, escitalopram, or fluvoxamine. .....About 30% of women on tamoxifen also take an SSRI for depression or hot flashes. FDA will add new warnings..
Avatar m tn In general, the newer antidepressants (SSRI and SNRI) do not prolong QT interval so much. A possible exception is citalopram (and escitalopram). As far as I know, paroxetine and vortioxetine are fairly safe. How long is your QT interval?
Avatar m tn I have been on Paroxetine for 10 years on and off and whenever I have a question about any medications that I can safely take I call the pharmacist and they are good about answering my guestions.Good luck!!
Avatar f tn t necessarily the best for anxiety, but if it works, it is, again, probably the safest and is usually where psychiatrists used to start if you got to the ssri class of meds. Lexapro is usually second. But this is on reputation, and doesn't mean it will apply to you, but that's where I'd start.
Avatar m tn Hi my doctor prescribed paroxetine hcl but i hate taking peels has anyone been on these , does it work?
704329 tn?1518523098 To be honest, no i havent reduced the paroxetine at all.....but the page you gave was BANG on in how i feel...any other information to ad on that or any to the best of your knowledge? Do you think it could be a clash between the ssri and the benzo...i do take them close together...thanks alot!
1100999 tn?1257701380 You may want to speak to your doctor about another drug called Cymbalta which is a SNRI rather than a SSRI like Paxil. Or even talk about Lexapro ( SSRI ). Studies are showing an excellent sucess rate with both Lexapro and Cymbalta and this is why they are on top of my list too and i have success right now with Cymbalta. The only side effect i had was nausea and it went away. I don't feel like a ''zombie''.
Avatar n tn I am on 20mg paroxetine at the moment i have been on it for 7 years, I was off it for 6 months and after 3 months of that time i went straight back into severe health anxiety. I was trying for a bay, that's why i came off. I know i will want to try again in the future can anyone tell me if they have had babies on anti depressants ? what type as mine is an ssri and works perfectly! was their baby healthy also did you need to go for extra scans and check ups.
Avatar f tn Some common SSRIs include fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine and sertraline. The study listed other pharmacologic treatments for skin picking, such as inositol, clomipramine, doxepin, inositol, lamotrigine, olanzapine, naltrexone and riluzole. In addition, the study suggested that the prescription medication worked best if combined with cognitive-behavioral therapy. Read more: http://www.livestrong.

486038 tn?1300063367 t know if you remember , but Six weeks after being jerked off of the Zoloft that I had been on for 14 years and abruptly switched to Paroxetine the next day without any taper, My vision went haywire and that was the start of this whole mess with me! I as much as anyone can really believe that SSRI's can have these kinds of effects!!! Did you discontinue the Cymbalta? If so how long have you been off of it?
1035021 tn?1296820707 So she medicate me with CAPTOPRIL by nights and PAROXETINE by mornings, I will really appreciate your opinion about this meds interaction cause as far as I know PAROXETINE is a SSRI like TRAMADOL and I don't know if they can be taken together. Thank you by advance! This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/752978'>CT W/D from tramadol</a>.
Avatar n tn But one study suggested that there might be differences in weight gain due to the different types of SSRI. Paroxetine (Paxil) may be more likely cause a significant weight gain than other drugs of this type (like fluoxetine or sertraline). Studies about citalopram found no significant weight changes for most patients (but a minority of about 5% of the patients had a weight gain of more than 5 kg).
486038 tn?1300063367 t know anything about this medicine, but I had some kind of reaction in 2006 when my SSRI was switched abruptly without a taper!! The switch was from Zoloft which I had been on for 14 years, to Paroxetine. The new doctor also abruptly took me off of Xanax that I had been taking for eight months at one .25mg once daily! His reason for changing my meds( which were working fine) was that he didn't want me on this very low dose of xanax!!!
Avatar m tn My husband has atrial fibralation and is taking Tikosyn, Eliquis, Carvedilol, And Tamsulosin. He has recently been diagnosed with GAD, what SSRI can he take safely with his other meds to help with anxiety and depression, anxiety is a big problem.
Avatar m tn I've been on Paxil, i.e. Paroxetine for about 6 years now. I ran out about 5 days ago. As has happened in the past after quitting Paxil my sleep is interrupted with such stressful nightmares. I mean I wake up and I am either screaming and my heart rate goes sky high. I am a about 3 days from when i can get another refill. I don't think i can make it and have so much to do this week during the day. When I call my doctors office and especially on call, they go berzerk.
Avatar m tn Coming to the medicines part, Prozac and serteraline which you are taking are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and are the mainstay of treatment for premature ejaculation. Paroxetine (Paxil) appears to be the most effective drug treatment and you can get it prescribed if the symptoms persist. Other drugs like Dapoxetine (Priligy), clomipramine and trazadone are also used for premature ejaculation. Studies have shown that clomipramine may be more useful than the SSRIs.
Avatar f tn Sometimes a doc will prescribe a benzo like Ativan or Xanax during this time to address this temporary increased anxiety. Also, a good rule of thumb when starting an SSRI is "start low, go slow" which it seems you're doing. Best wishes!
Avatar n tn Yes, a well known side effect of the majority of SSRI''s is that they can prolong the QT interval. This does not mean that they will and "prolonging" the QT interval is not the same thing as having a "prolonged QT interval".
