German Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Hello, guys. I've been taking paroxetine since September 2014 from one day to the next, taking Laif in March 2015 until May 2016. Well, my question since 2014 is a bad one. I suffer from fears of weakness and stress intolerance. Since March 2017 I have had an extreme weakness and am bedridden. Just lie in bed. I'm too weak for anything. Is that maybe the cfs syndrom? Or is it withdrawal? The weakness was there last year, but it got worse and worse. Does anyone know? Took 11 years of paroxetine. Greetings and sorry for the bad English. Link to comment
Administrator Altostrata Posted September 25, 2017 Administrator Share Posted September 25, 2017 Welcome, German. You refer to Laif in your first sentence, what is it? Did you have any symptoms when you went off Paxil? Did you have any symptoms when you went off Laif (??) in May 2016? This is not medical advice.
