Eugene Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I came off Paxil over the last 3 months and was doing well. I started Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) rTMS is a safe, alternative and effective, non-invasive neurostimulation treatment for patients suffering with depression who do not respond to antidepressant medications OR who cannot tolerate medication side effects. i change my diet completely. I exercised every day , but I think like many I was over confident and went too fast. I reluctanly decided to reintroduce ri and small dose of 2.5 mg of the 50 I was originally taking. I hope to see some success as my symptoms are nailing me like a truck hitting a stop sign. I will post my results positive or negative going forward. Eugene Been on many antidepressants. And Trazadone Paxil the longest 6 years. Was up to 60 mg Went down to 40mg started tapering off January 2018. Came off completely apri 20, 2018 started to feel horrible first week of May. decided to ri 2.5 mg May 8, 2018 to see if I can control the horrible feelings and taper off slowly over several more months.
