freedomfrompaxil -- Welcome to Surviving Antidepressants (SA)
 
Where exactly on your head are you noticing this difference in tissue? Have you had a doctor or dermatologist examine it?

A request: Would you summarize your history in a signature -- drugs, doses, dates, and discontinuations & reinstatements, in the last 12-18 months particularly?

  • Any drugs prior to that can just be listed with start and stop years.
  • You don't need to include symptoms or diagnoses other than the initial condition that led to prescribing the first drug.
  • We ask for this information in your signature so that we can see it at a glance. A list is easier to understand than one or multiple paragraphs.
  • You can find instructions in this topic: Please put your withdrawal history in signature

When was the last day you took pregabalin?

 

Did you take any other medications in 2015 or 2016?

If yes, please list the 

  • medication
  • dose
  • date when you started taking it
  • date when you stopped taking
  • way you stopped taking it -- all at once from regular dose to 0 mg, in steps over weeks or months.

Send by email to petitions@parliament.scot and quote PE01651 in the subject heading. Keep to a maximum of 3 sides of A4 and you can't name for legal reasons any doctor you have consulted.

None of the published articles shed light on what ssri's ... actually do or what their hazards might be. Healy 2013. 

This is so true, with anything you get on these drugs, dependance, tapering, withdrawal symptoms, side effects, just silent. And if there is something mentioned then their is a serious disconnect between what is said and reality! 

  "Every time I read of a multi-person shooting, I always presume that person had just started a SSRI or had just stopped."  Dr Mosher. Me too! 

Over two decades later, the number of antidepressant prescriptions a year is slightly more than the number of people in the Western world. Most (nine out of 10) prescriptions are for patients who faced difficulties on stopping, equating to about a tenth of the population. These patients are often advised to continue treatment because their difficulties indicate they need ongoing treatment, just as a person with diabetes needs insulin. Healy 2015

I believe the ssri era will soon stand as one of the most shameful in the history of medicine. Healy 2015

I've looked and couldn't find any information about the symptom you've mentioned.  The search failure may be because I don't know the correct name for the symptom. :(

 

I am finding supplement to loosen the hard head skin tissue which is developed by paxil benzo...etc.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

When did the hardened skin problem start?

 

Where did you discover that this problem could be a symptom of taking or withdrawing paxil (SSRIs) or benzodiazepines?

Are you saying that the skin problem started when you were 13 years old?
