Frustrated Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Paxil is a wicked drug. I have had horrid pain and muscle twitching in my legs and feet and back and neck for months now. I even went to the doc for percocet because magnesium wasn't working and I couldn't take it anymore. I get it. I do think it is Paxil related but I have no clue how to lessen the pain. If you figure that out share because it is frustrating as he?! 2002-put on amitryptiline for fibromyalgia. 10mg.2004-stopped abruptly.

katieb Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 Hi frustrated. I Have tried with massage and that helps for a couple of days and then it's back like a bad penny.Also hot and cold packs .Not really any good. Pain killers don't touch it and I don't want to take any really .I don't want any more chemicals in my body.Its quite disheartening when it goes on for so long and it's beginning to wear me down if um honest. Been taking paroxatine for approx 15 years.Tried a few times yo stop but failed. Am currently on 3.5mg liquid Jan 2016 been slow tapering paroxatine and i am currently at 2.9 mg and last drop was 5 weeks ago. Started to feel awful about 3 weeks ago with brain ???? , shakes, blurred vision and dizzyness. .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
