I was prescribed 20mg to help with anxiety and OCD, and oh my god, the first week I was so depressed and literally just wanted to kill myself. I decided to drop the dose to 10mg, they are scored tablets, and its helped me a fair bit and is much more manageable. I also take a AP med for my schiz, I find that Doctors always over dose these types of medications. They dont do any help if they sap all your energy and make you feel like a bloody zombie.

Doctor prescribed me this , took only one 20mg yesterday . Here I am today shaking , puking , feeling disoriented, weak and paranoid . No thanks never again

Thanks for the post. 10 days into 10mg. Has stopped the panic attacks completely. Sleep is fine, feel safe.

This shit works well for so long. I couldn’t tell the difference in the beginning but somehow I was different gained weight which I don’t mind anyways long story short. Shit got worse- I got bumped up to 40mg and that didn’t help so that’s when I stopped taking it. Now I’m having a hard time-coping with the nightmares and anger issues but atleast my heart feels pain and happiness time to time before I was desensitized, if someone died in front of me I wouldn’t look twice I think I have another week or two and itll finally be over. Good luck ppl. My advice when getting off of it force yourself to eat as much as you can and cover yourself good when you sleep coz the night sweats will wake you up feeling real cold. Just try to find comfort as much as you can and avoid being around annoying kids or ppl you care about cos you don’t want to burden them with your withdrawal

Very pretty 🙏 I wish you all the blessings in the world 🌎

I was on low dose for 20 years. It caused bleeding ulcers. I've now gone off completely. God is my med now. Complete healing. Yay!

The issue with paroxitine is...the very first dose can't be higher than 10mg or even 5mg for some as it will hit you...I hear this often and I had the same experience....the very first time I took it...it was 20mg and I had a full blown panic attack...before that I didn't even know what a panic attack was...I was on it for 4 years after that and it was amazing...then I tapered off by cutting down to 10mg which was half of my original dose for a few weeks then 5 mg for a few weeks then 5 mg on off every 2 days...I have done this tapering off method many times and I been fine....also in the process I noticed 10mg was more than enough as I have gone on and off it a few times with no bad affects as a first dose of 10 mg. Hope you are doing well you look happy bright and cheerful x

i was on 10mg for 6 weeks, and had nearly the exact same experiences as you- nearly on the same timeline. it was terrifying.

I love this.

If time goes back i would never tuche any anti-deprcents, it destroyed my life. I would stick with eating clean, yoga, sports, and meditation along with decent sleep that would been a very good medicine

I was on the 10 mg for about a month and then went up to 20 mg. Felt very depressed on 20 mg but no anxiety whatsoever. Then tried Lexapro, but found out I was allergic! Not cute! Now on Paroxetine CR 12.5 and feeling back to normal. I guess if something's not broken, don't try to fix it! LOL Sorry to hear about your experience, but hope you are doing well now!

This morning at 10 a.m. I took my first 20 MG of paroxetine. My body is very sensitive to medication. I did notice that I didn't have many negative thoughts and was able to focus pretty well. Late into the evening I started to feel so many side effects. I'm not paranoid but I felt 90% of the side effects. It's beem 14 hours since I've taken it. Right now it feelsl similar to the feeling of ecstacy after the crash. It's a little pass 1 a.m. and I'm having a hard time trying to sleep. Atm I do have a cold, which makes me wonder if it has a negative impact on the medication. I might keep trying it unless the next few days the side effects are too much. I'm gonna try to tough it out. This video is almost a perfect match to how I feel.

The doctor doesn't tell you but this stuff rocks your world when you first start taking it. Worsened anxiety, restlessness, nausea etc. But eventually it goes away and you feel better. Hang in there.

I started on 10mg and nothing was wrong at all, later bumped up to 20. The only problem is the chest tightness I keep feeling. And whenever I try to give the pills up I feel depersonalization and it’s horrible I hate it so much plz help

MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU , I know how difficult this is , me son was on it horrible experience , just horrible.

You have beautiful eyes!

1 second ago It helped me quite well in the middle of a raging phase of substance abuse 8 years ago. So, I'm on it again. Today is my only 2nd day. I'm taking only approx 6.25mg before bed at this point.

How long after you stopped your previous SSRI did you start on the Paroxetine?

I’ve been on it for 6 days… days 3&4 I felt significantly better. But 5&6 not so much… just regulary if not worse. I’m feeling despondent as I heard it’s not good for people with a family history of breast cancer sigh. Fingers crossed it starts to kick in soon….

Paroxetine caused me impulsive/compulsive behavior and a sudden eBay addiction costing $20k. All that abruptly started when I started the drug, and abruptly ended when I stopped the drug. It destroyed my life.

I've been using antidepressants since I was 12, now I'm 18 and I'm supposed to use paroxetine but I'm so afraid of the side effects.

My wife has been on this stuff for years and to an extent it's been a "success". Although she does not sleep much, always happy and seems hyper.

you are so brave and sweet. greetings from Egypt

That was how I felt with Duloxetine

Can You tell me why is your hair grey on the top of your head?It was like this always,or it became like this after something happenned to you?Just asking because I have problems myself and about to take paroxatine,but one of my side effects of an uncnown mental problem,maybe depression caused my hair gone gray just like yours at sertain points on my head and gone falling out....

day 12 cold turkey case : when i move my eyes i feel like my heart faints with crazy dizziness ...it's like seeing at 10fps ! i see pinkish hue when facing a face fever. talking to myself ? lowest volume please irritated from nonsense bruises on arms and thighs. raging libido ... nausea . numbness on lips... crazy appetite aaaaaand nausea . defensive mechanisms are sharp ! sleeping ? are you kidding ? how about some real life gore nightmares instead ! restless ...well i have to go. is this hell ?

I have been on 4 other antidepressants which have not worked... A few months back I was put on paroxetine, I had my dose upped a couple of times and I honestly haven't felt worse, so confused, being on an extreme high to extreme low within a minute, paranoia, weight loss now weight gain... it's horrible.

that doctor made an error with letting you start with 20 instead of 10 mg, I take it since 2 years and am free of panik attacks I am so sorry for what happened to you the dosis was to high to start with

They felt good and made me happy at first But the side affects were horrible becomes to tense for me ... it makes it were u can barely sleep .. makes my legs feel restless while laying down ... I’ve been off them for a while and the symptoms still stand a little ...

You look beautiful with your hair shaved ❤️

7 months on 40mg of this drug almost cost me my life. It was my first ever med, 10 years ago. It caused me great harm. I know it has helped so many though.

Just started it this morning and just got done throwing up uggh - just wondering how long this will take

I'm going through same phase 😭 and it is not a easy journey

I sleep very well with paroxetine calm no night good dream so far

I started paroxeirne yesterday and I developed a tremor, so im not gunna take another pill today, I called my doctor

Did you lose your hair with paroxetine? Please

I've been taking 20mg for about 6 or 7 weeks... it's making me angry so I'm tapering off RN!!!!👍

I just got prescribed this medication 2 days ago and tonight will be my third time on it , I thought it was just going to be a sleeping pill but turns out it’s also a depression medicine... I could not sleep on the first night at all I got no rest and was up all night , but I am used to that because I went to the doctor because I would never get any sleep and would be up for days .... I hope I ain’t making a mistake by being on these pills ... cuz like I said my first night I got no rest at all and my second night I felt so damn drowsy I could barely walk to the bathroom across the hall... n I been having really painful headaches lately n also feeling dehydrated n weak .... hope it starts curing my insomnia..... tonight’s gonna be my third night taking it .... 😐 wish I done research before taking it

Omg you are soo cute 😭 Starting my first pill today and terrified 😞

Anyone considering Psych meds need to to a Genetic test.... one I did was Genomind in the U.S. ... Turns out I can't take many of them

I'm watching 2023

Hi friend, I am taking from last 2 years . How can I quit ? Thanks

Can anybody help me I have been taking ssri since 6 weeks Proxtine 20mg HCl still I am same I don't feel anything I am very depressed.

I take paroxetine and if I skip a day my head feels like it’s being stabbed. I get migraines and it hurts worse than before

I wish I could talk to you for real

I was on this shit nearly 30 years ago and it made me suicidal.

I have anxiety and panic attacks. Started 10 mg of Paroxetine not even a week ago and have had numerous side effects. Tingling, prickling, burning sensations/nausea/yawning/loss of appetite/restlessness primarily in legs/red dry eyes/drowsiness/dry mouth. Talking to my PCP tomorrow because fuck this.

I'm not sure if you still use this channel but I'll comment anyways. You try regulate your serotonin with questionable chemicals right to increase serotonin? Why not look at it introducing natural supplements like St John's wart or rhodiola rosea? These are precursors that actually work. Best of luck, look forward to hearing from you Edit: I would also recommend CBD from Holland and Barrett

You are very beautiful ❤️❤️❤️🌹

I was on 10mg for 3 weeks and it did no help, and now I’m on a 35mg, and I’ve had that for a few days and I keep having the sensation that I’m choking or gagging right under my jaw. And that is only making me more anxious 😅 has anyone else experienced this with Paxil???

U should try it again because it is the best for SAD

started 10mg 2 days ago wish me luck lol
