Thanks @kats for your message and i'm sorry you're going through this also.. 

 

 

Update:

Recently the neurologist wrote in my medical records:

 

''Determined cyp2d6 enzyme via farmaco genetic passport. Paroxetine has not been suitable, toxic dosing. Possibly an explanation for contemporary small fiber neuropathy.''

 

I never had neuropathy, pain, or any health issues before the 9 months use of Paroxetine + reinstatement. I was an athletic runner and there aren't any diseases in my family.

The skin biopsy for SFN was negative, but the neurologist still thinks it's the case because the tests are not 100% accurate.. I have all the symptoms of SFN. He said it alters the signalling in the nervous system in a bad way.

So it looks more like that these drugs can cause small fiber neuropathy not by damaging the nerve ends, but by damaging the control system of these nerve signals, so those signals are altered and give the same symptoms like damaged nerve ends but on another level. But in the end it's the same struggle.

 

I don't really care about the 'how exactly possible question' anymore because now at least my disability pay is approved, i receive household help from government, and i receive tools like wheelchair from government because i have a legit diagnosis. So this diagnosis is very helpful in my case. It also eases my mental suffering because finally someone acknowledged it in my records after seen many many specialists, that made me chronically angry and very bitter by their gaslighting even while bringing lawsuit papers with me about GSK and Paxil.

So i'm thankful for the help and honesty of that neurologist

 

Sadly it won't help at all with my physical daily struggle of being highly disabled by those torturous symptoms. Just hanging on every day.

 

Did i have improvements?

Yes but only on the mental side, i have battled 14 months straight with chemical induced suicidal thoughts, i fought for my life. Terror impending doom etc.

Luckily that subside after 14 months. I have my normal head back, but with some cognitive symptoms left i can cope with most of the time.

 

But physically i have no improvement, but i did just go backwards sadly..

If i can improve only 40% of my physical health i would take it by now. 

I won't make myself any illusions based on looking back on my improvement, but still i keep hoping.

 

Best wishes to all. ♥️

 

And don't compare to my story please, if i say i won't make myself illusions it doesn't say you won't heal. 

Everyone is different, it's just my opinion based on my situation.
