416625 tn?1203288998 Thank you so much for such a thorough post. I really appreciate it. I have struggeled on and off with depression/anxiety..but I am trying exercise/diet and suppliments. I have tried prozac YEARS ago...and Paxil....paxil made me a zombie....so I am trying everything else before the celexa....the psychiatrist said....I don't think SamE will work for you (I asked) and I really should try celexa.......I feel like they really push AD. anyway..
Avatar n tn Hi, I was going to take Paxil for OCD and anxiety on HIV. How helpful is it? what are the side effects?
467977 tn?1262714747 BTW....I take 50 mg of Paxil daily and 30 mg of Buspar (anti-anxiety med)...I know my meds are high...but that is what I needed. I found the combo of the buspar with my paxil did the trick to take away those morning and daily "jitters" I would get. Not 100% but enough so I can function and not have to deal with the dry heaves in the morning. I also have Klonopin that I take on an "as-needed" basis.
Avatar f tn medication does have side effects and I have experienced the jitters for about 4 weeks while building up a new medication in my system. Did you speak to your provider about this reaction to Lexapro?
Avatar n tn I been on Paxil and kolonopin for the past month and a half and so far so good. Zoloft always made me feel numb and I didnt like the side effects. The even put me on buspore and that really didn't work for me. It made my panic attacks worse. Lexapro was a bust also but now the meds I'm. Taking make me feel great and I can still function through the day. Prayer helps to because no matter how many pills the doctor can put you on only God can make you and take you through anything.
Avatar f tn Question: You say you weaned off Paxil, but how long did you take to taper off it? You say you realized after two weeks you still needed a med, but what was going on for those two weeks? Was it something different then you had felt before going on Paxil in the first place? Paxil is the hardest of these meds to stop taking and for some people it can be devastating.
Avatar f tn i have jitters in my stomach and cant stand to be closed up in a room or alone and my breathing is heavy what do i do?
Avatar m tn I am also in the process of coming off the generic brand of paxil also....I was at 50 mg for 15 years....it was a lifesaver for me, but of course it affects everyone differently. I just felt that it was time for me to come off....I was feeling stronger and better about myself and wanted to take this step...and i did it under doctor supervision...however, I also hit that brick wall from going from 20mg down to 10mg.....the jitters have come back, anxiety and irritability.
Avatar f tn So I was taking Paxil for the past 2 years at very low doses.. Weaned myself off, but after two weeks off it decided it wasn't the right time and went back to it due to reemerging anxiety and depression. When I reinstated it at a very low dose I got a bad reaction, I felt horrible increased anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation(for the first time in my life) and burning sensations on my scalp and hands.
Avatar m tn it was said 5-years ago i had depression and panic attacks, ive been on paxil,effexxor,lexapro,cymbalta,triptolines,all of the new ones and some old, now ive been switched to prozac 20mg. can anyone tell me anything good about prozac?
Avatar m tn Hey my name is nick. I have been taking 6mgs of xanax 2mg 3x a day, and 40mg paxil one a day for about 3 years. Today I'm still waiting on walmart to fill them. Today is day 3 and I'm sweating, having crazy thoughts, and I feel like I'm dying. I'm quite shaky. Will this go away if they fill my scripts soon? I really don't know what is happening and I have a high fever.
Avatar m tn I have been taking ultram/vicodin for the past 6 years. I started on vicodin (up to 6 10/325 a day but only about 4 a day average, then after 3 years switched to ultram rather the generic version which I took no more than 4 a day (average 3) for 4 years. I quit cold turkey 5 days ago and withdraw symptoms (cold sweats, uncontrollable temperature variations (too cold/too hot, can't regulate) were actually extremely mild, but the jitters, they are persistent.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum - I've been on Zoloft for 5 weeks, slowly increased my dosage to 100mg, been on 100mg for 2 weeks and I've been experiencing the 'coffee jitters' for the past week. I know as soon as the jitters and shake go away I'll be cured from this terrible anxiety! My question is: did anyone else have the jitters and shakes, if so, when will it go away?
Avatar m tn I've searched the web and here and no really good answer. I'm taking a Sonata about 3 or 4 oclock in the morning. It does cause some jitters next day. Now I've started Sam-e and a Super Beta Complex and the Jitters are unbearable. I take some Xanax and it helps some. I can't take much and still function. The question is ... Is it the Sam-e or the Super B Complex causing the extreme jitters or anxiety?
Avatar f tn i duno i didnt wanna do it because the one thing says gives you the coffee jitters so that scared me away from it, the hole wd feels like bad coffee jitters so y would i wanna add to that lol take the vitamins instead it worked for me
Avatar f tn I also take clonazepam and gabapentin. The only problem I have left is jitters some mornings, especially. Does anybody know if upping the Cymbalta dose would eliminate those jitters or make them worse. I had them before the Cymbalta. I'm also nervous when I have them.
Avatar n tn Come Sat night, could barely sleep again, had to take another xanax just to pass out for 6 hours and wake up with the jitters. Sun was better than Sat, really thought I was feeling better (and the typical time for me to "get over" an attack like this is 2 days) - but come Sun night I could barely sleep again, my whole body kept trembling.
499178 tn?1210003841 I dont want to become depenent on Xanax, I have the tremors (which Lexapro made worse and I understand so does Paxil) Any suggestions? This is a ***** of a problem!!!
Avatar f tn 1st two weeks on 10 mg, 2nd two weeks on 20 mg. was so jittery doc put me back on 10 mg. for the next 3 weeks. Jitters never stopped so I was switched to Zoloft the next day. Started at 25 mg for a week. Jitters seem to be fading with the Prozac leaving my system. The 2nd week I was raised to 50 mg. jitters are back!!! Thought I might try to ride it out for a week or so, but maybe these are not for me????
Avatar f tn I have the same issues & I did go to a sleep clinic & they said I have Apnea. I cannot get used to my machine & therefore I don't use it. I was told that I tend to hold my breath when I am in REM & on a scale for Apnea I was only a 6. Anyways...I have anxiety/MVP too & I went back on Zoloft (75mg) & 0.5 Xanax at bedtime. I no longer am waking gasping for air...but I am waking up with inside jitters, that go away after I wake up & get on my feet...
Avatar n tn s all-time worst about a month or so after the surgery I went into fight or flight mode and had severe nausea, racing heartbeat, anxiety, jitters and depression. No doubt brought by feeling hopeless. :( At the time of the surgery I was 4 months postpartum. A VERY happy first time mom. My current symptoms are daily nausea (usually in the morning) and bouts of anxiety, depression, dizziness, headaches and what i call jitters in my stomach.
