Common Questions and Answers about Paxil success stories
paxil
I'm a 36 year-old male. I've been taking 40mg of Paxil for 10 years. I have to take the name-brand, because the generic doesn't work for me (tried 3 different times). A few weeks ago, the old feelings of anxiety started creeping back in. Racing thoughts, sick feeling in the pit of my stomach, overwhelming sense of fear, etc.
Now, I am feeding that anxiety with more fear. I am afraid that Paxil isn't working anymore, and I am scared that I will have to come off of it.
Nobody can answer this for you, since people have very different experiences. You might have a very easy time of it, who knows? As for the comment that withdrawal lasts longer if you taper, that's not at all true. Tapering is the recommended method of going off these meds, and consequences can be protracted if you don't, though most will be lucky and not have that happen.
Anything positive that has happened since you quit, please share with us. I love reading the success stories, even those that are just starting out with a day or 2 clean and excited about what sobriety has to offer is success.
Addiction comes with so much pain, but when we fight for what we want and stay clean, we begin to heal and life changes. Life becomes worth living again. How has live improved for you, since you made the decision to get clean?
I am very new to this type of thing, but I do find that reading pregnancy success stories from other women who have PCOS, really helps me to cope with the fact that I have fertility issues. I am on my second round of 50mg of clomid and Im also taking Metformin. Are there any women who have successfuly conceived on Clomid and how many rounds did it take?
If it worked before it will again. This is the best indicator of how a medication will affect you. What one experiences may not be your's, because we all respond differently to these types of medications. Don't go by all the horror stories because the success stories far outnumber the bad. Unfortunately we only hear about the bad experiences, people who have found success in a medication have no complaints so they have no reason to post about it.
and I begin obsessively reading about the thousands of Paxil withdrawal horror stories that are out here on the web. Websites like paxilprogress.org and quitpaxil.org are full of people that have tried to quit or are in the process of weaning off of this drug, and they are all going through absolute hell. It really scares me. It's an odd feeling when you realize that you are afraid of the very thing that has helped you for so many years.
I guess my question to you is this.
d also recommend you guide the person to withdrawal websites, ignore the horror
Because of the length of time you've been on Paxil, yes, it will probably be difficult to quit this med. I'm one of the horror stores who never recovered from my withdrawal. But most of us who have suffered greatly had lousy psychiatrists, which is why so many had to turn to the web. A good psychiatrist will know how to taper you off slowly and put you back on it if it gets too bad. Most people make it off after a bad few weeks, some have not problem at all, and some never make it.
