paxil

Avatar m tn as a result i got extremely depressed so i went to my doctor and he perscribed me 10mg paxil. it started working after about a month but recently ive started drinking alcohol about twice a week on weekends because i feel partying on the weekends is the only thing i have to look forward to. and after a weekend of drinking for about 3 days i get even more depressed than i started out as and it gets worse each time.
1386506 tn?1279613689 I am a mother of a 4 year old son and he is the love of my life. I want soooo badly to be the best mother that I can be but it makes it hard when I am put on so many meds. I suffer from severe anxiety, depression, and chronic pain from endometriosis. So, my doctor prescribed me 20mg of paxil and it made my life hell!!! I only took it for 5 days and now I can't sleep, I have restless leg syndrom, and severe anxiety that runs from my lower back up to my spine.
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.

358304 tn?1409709492 i know 5mg isnt alot. but im kinda scared to try the paxil. oh, and about the ibs... and arbys... you have to remember that i rarley get appetite... and that actually was really good. and i havnt had bowel issues for 2 days now. so thats good. but for the most part im sticking to high fiber foods. thanks for writing.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn I take these two meds, why?
Avatar m tn I am on oxycontin 80mgs daily,percocet, and paxil, lamictal and heart meds and diabetic meds. I feel horrible everyday of my life. My family thinks thinks its all the meds. I am a very stowic person but, this is slowly beating. what specialist should I be seeing?
Avatar f tn s even though I get them by prescription. My dr. Has me on oxycontin, oxycodone, soma, and my otger dr. Has me in Klon pin, paxil..I also am on other neds such as cholesterol ,flomax and a few others. I live in chronic pain and I am worried about having to take them always. ..any others with chronic pain and depression, and anxiety disorders?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn Your Ativan and Alprazolam are benzodiazapenes and you should be careful when quitting them. Oxycontin and Percocets (Endocet) are both opiates and can definitely be quit cold turkey but you should probably taper of the Benzos....
1297968 tn?1272639250 Hello. Does anyone in this group take Paxil and crave alcohol? I do and never did before....I told my Dr. and he said Paxil doesn't cause alcohol cravings. He also wants to keep me on Paxil..I just want off it..
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.
Avatar n tn 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!
Avatar m tn t heard much about doing it the other way around. And why Paxil and not Prozac or Lexapro? Lots of questions here. Sounds like your main problem, from the meds you're on, has been diagnosed as depression, not anxiety. True? If so, you might get better help on the depression forum.
1140035 tn?1276352098 took me off Cymbalta last week and put me back on Prozac...also took me off Oxycontin (only took for a month, but crushed the pills everytime I took them.) So far today, I've taken 6 pills and just don't feel "right"...real dizzy and like I could pass out. I'm trying to work, but it's not going so well...thank God the boss is out today! Please give me your thoughts....for more background, please see my profile. Thanks so much!
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.

Avatar f tn I do not know if michael has taken Paxil, but i did take it for over 8 years and let me tell you paxil put me through hell and one of the side effects was heart palpittions.There are many side effects from paxil that many people are not aware of. SO do your research. There are so many great web sites out there, one is paxilprogress.
Avatar f tn I've been on Paxil for 10 years off and on and for almost two years straight now. I've noticed marked fatigue right after I take my medication for the last month or so and I'm wondering whats up. I can't see my doctor for two months. Has anyone had a common occurence?
Avatar f tn I thought i was on zoloft with the paxil...but my doctor checked and it is paxil and wellbutrin...been on both since Sept. he decided the paxil alone wasn't working and added wellbutrin...but to me i do have the symptons as if i were on zoloft which the dr. said i wasn't...nurse didn't call me back after she got it straight with the dr. that i am on paxil and wellbutrin...maybe tomorrow. if not i will check with the pharmacy. thanks so much for caring.
Avatar m tn I take 30mg of Paxil once daily and find it to be fairly effective. I have been on it for a year and a half now and find it has less side effects than the 150mg/effexor I was on for years before hand.
