Bonjour Farid, mes symptômes principaux sont les mêmes que les tiens, je sais à quel point les journées peuvent être longues et la situation sembler sans espoir avec cette anxiété constante et harassante. Les premiers mois de stabilisation peuvent être assez durs à vivre, et l'on a vraiment pas le sentiment que notre système nerveux travaille à la guérison. Et pourtant il le fait. Tout ce que nous pouvons faire pendant ce temps c'est prendre soin de nous au maximum, et lui laisser le temps dont ila besoin. Je suis bientôt à 4 mois à 10mg, et même si la situation n'est pas revenue à la normale, ma vie est plus facile qu'il y a deux mois ! Courage Farid, la guérison existe et elle arrivera ❤️ (Hi Farid, my main symptoms are the same as yours, I know how days can be long and hopeless with this constant anxiety. First months of stabilisation can be pretty rough, and we don't really have the feeling that our CNS is actually working. But he does. All we can do during this time is taking care of ourselves and granted the time he need to heal.

Farid, tu as fait plusieurs changements de dose dans les derniers mois : je pense qu'il est trop tôt pour envisager de baisser à nouveau, j'aurais plutôt tendance à te conseiller de garder ta dose de 10mg stable pendant plusieurs mois, pour laisser le temps à ton système nerveux de se réguler. Le risque sinon est de continuer à faire des changements alors que ton cerveau ne s'est aps encore stabilisé et donc de le déstabiliser encore plus. C'est ce qui semble fonctionner le mieux dans les témoignages. Courage ❤️ (Farid, you've made several dose changes in the past few months : I think it is too early to tapper again, I would rather advise you to keep your dose steady at 10mg and hold for several months, so your CNS can stabilise. The risk is too destabilise your CNS further if you make new changes while your CNS is not yet stabilised.

Farid Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 Oh autant de temps ? Ma fois je vais tempérer un peu avant de redescendre alors. J' ai des petites questions Vous ne parlez pas de l entrée en tolérance du médicament ? Prendre le même dosage des mois n est pas ideal J ai remarqué que la pharmacie a donné de chlorhydrate de magnésium a 450mg et pas l autre version , est ce quand même bon et pas trop doser ? Pour la diminution le médecin a accepté la diminution du dosage et j' ai une prescription pour du 9,5mg pendant 30 jour ( soit 5%) Est ce bon ou c est mieux de passer par le système recommandé par un autre ici avec des diminutions de 2,5% par semaine? Merci a toi Oh all that? I will wait a bit before going back down then. I have questions. 1 You are not talking about the entry into tolerance of the drug? Taking the same dosage for months is not ideal 2 I noticed that the pharmacy gave chlorhydrate magnesium at 450 mg and not oxylate of magnesium , is it still good and not overdosing? 3 For the decrease the doctor accepted the decrease in dosage and I have a prescription for 9.5mg for 30 days (i.e. 5%) Is it good or is it better to go through the system recommended by another one here with reductions of 2.5% per week? thanks to you Paxil 20mg start novembre 2016 paxil 10mg since maybe September 2017 Take paxil 10mg one day and not the second day Augustus 2018 to November 2018 paxil 5mg and crash return paxil 10 mg since December 2019 to October 2019 October 2019 to December 8 mg december 2019 7 mg january to June 2020 10 mg July 2020 9,5mg augustus 20 9mg september 2020 8,1mg october 2020 7,3 mg Link to comment

Farid Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 so since january i ended a caffeine withdrawal. which increased my anxiety like never before. I had been drinking coffee for 30 years. it seems that it takes months or more than a year to get rid of the paws. if I would have known before ... Second BIG problem taking cyprofloxacin an antibiotic that made my anxiety the highest in my life (even before deciding to take paroxetine) so my life has been very bad since January, I who just wanted to withdraw the paroxetine, I found myself at the lowest possible. However, it made me realize that my quality of life was bad. since then I eat better, sport. Around the month of June I felt a certain improvement in my condition. I decided to start the withdrawal of paroxetine 5/100 or 9.5 mg for a month then 9mg the month after then I went to 10/100 so 8.1mg and for a few days 7.3 mg. a few days before the reduction to 7.3 mg i was a little more anxious and the decrease increased my anxiety for day 5, and the depression returned. it is a little better today than yesterday but the anxiety is very high. Today I am confident that I will be able to get out of it, but this paroxetine coupled with this period of withdrawal from caffeine and my reaction to cyprofloxacin is difficult. my psychiatrist did a test for depression and anxiety, a kind of emg. no depression but major anxiety on September 21st. What are your opinions ? I was confident that I could decrease at the end of September (anxiety at 5/6 depression at 1/2) what an adventure ...

Mentor Hanna72 Posted October 13, 2020 Mentor Share Posted October 13, 2020 Hi @Farid So do I understand you correctly that you are at 7.3 mg Paxil now? I would recommend that you take your time to stabilise before doing another reduction. Feeling good physically and mentally is a good aim before next cut. Paxil is a hard drug to taper, and it is very important to take it slow. 26 minutes ago, Farid said: However, it made me realize that my quality of life was bad. since then I eat better, sport.

Farid Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 I am at 7.3 mg and the discouragement and the state of absolute sadness and suicidal thoughts have returned. I had started again a decrease since June 2020 to 5/100 then I gradually climbed to 10/100 but already the pass to 8.1 has been more delicate. I usually have more problem 2 to 3 weeks. but this b**** added an increase in anxiety and depression. the problem is that i have been affected by two problems since january 2020. a complete withdrawal of caffeine which increased my anxiety and taking antibiotics in March including fluoroquinolone cipro which is unfortunately known to interact very very negatively with anti depressants and increases anxiety. I remember 24 hours after taking the medication that my anxiety was soaring and I wanted to die. it was a horrible year. but I was on the point of reducing paxil at the end of June despite the overwhelming anxiety. I had better times around July August September. I don't know what to do today. resume the old dosage from September? wait until the current dosage is better accepted and wait two months before reducing less strongly. or simply do nothing more. I have the dosage done by the pharmacy because it is impossible for me to find the liquid here in Belgium and to reduce the dosage myself I would not know. thank you and sorry for my english.

Administrator Altostrata Posted October 19, 2020 Administrator Share Posted October 19, 2020 Farid, it seems you have a lot of chemical upset going on. It probably would be best for you to be patient and let it all settle down, do not reduce paroxetine until you feel much better. It's possible you're feeling some withdrawal from paroxetine. It's a very difficult drug to reduce. You might even increase paroxetine a little, to 7.5mg, and see if that helps. Please let us know how you're doing. This is not medical advice.

Farid Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 Thx you it's more easy for me to continue Ith 7,3 mg because I don't prepare the dosage myself ( I ask to my doctor the prescription with exact dosage and the pharmacy prepare for two month 60 caps).

Mentor Cocopuffz17 Posted October 28, 2020 Mentor Share Posted October 28, 2020 Hey, I took melatonin for sleep. I took the risk of taking a huge amount to get sleep rather than not sleeping and dealing with massive fatigue. I used sublingual tablets 20mg - 30mg per night. It is not recommended, but it is what I did. Antibiotics are terrible for your microbiome and wreak havoc on it. I found great results with changing my nutrition and not taking any antibiotics. I am now almost 21 months off of paroxetine after 11 years on it. You are stronger than you know! Everyday that passes is one day closer to being healed I follow The Plant Paradox lifestyle by Dr.Gundry. This lifestyle has given me my life back and I feel better than I have ever felt in my life. It has enabled me to finally get off of this medication and truly live my life. Nutrition is the key to health!!!!! 2008 to 2019 - 20 mg Paroxetine Attempted 2 CT's around the 5-6 year mark. Were absolutely terrible and reinstated. Was never explained by the doctor the seriousness of the short half life of this drug. 2017 - Attempted a tapered discontinuation of this drug and reinstated after being unsuccessful. 2019 - Feb. 12 - After a three month taper I am off of paroxetine. The 3 months were terrible, awful withdrawal feelings. I followed the doctors guidelines for the reduction of this drug and now know it was way too fast. 2019 - Oct. 12 - 8 months off paroxetine. 75% improvement since coming off the drug. Definitely have had tons of challenges along the way. Let’s go!!!! 2021 - Feb. 12 - 24 months off paroxetine. I have minor challenges now. Tinnitus/Headaches are still around but are reduced by a massive amount. Link to comment
Administrator Altostrata Posted October 28, 2020 Administrator Share Posted October 28, 2020 We do not recommend taking that much melatonin. As little as 0.25mg melatonin can be effective. It is not a sleeping drug. It is a signal to your body that it is time to get ready for sleep. Then your body does the rest. This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.
