Hi jordidog, @jordidog

This is your home place here.  Looks like you started here in June of 2018, so I have merged your Introductions all up.

I’ve just reinstated from 15 mg up to 20 mg after holding for 18 months. I’ve been struggling with anxiety and depression a lot and hoping to get relief. I would like to find a resource to help me with my future tapering and possible change to a different ad as I want off of Paxil. Any ideas?

 

When did you updose?  Date? 

Any improvement since then?

Are you on any other drugs right now?

 

It will also be helpful if you can update your signature.  Go to AccountSettings/signature to do so.  Don't forget to click/tick the Save Button when you are done.

 

And then let's review what is already here too.  You'll find previous posts to you in your Introduction, right here, this whole thread,  that may help with future planning, and then we can continue to communicate to you right here too.

 

 

 

Welcome back.

Late 2023- gone to emeritus status, inactive, don't @ me, I can check who I've posted on, and I'm not really here like I used to be......thanks.

Started with psycho meds/psychiatric care circa 1988.  In retrospect, and on contemplation, situational overwhelm.

Rounding up to 30 years of medications(30 medication trials, poly-pharmacy maximum was 3 at one time).

5/28/2015-off Adderal salts 2.5mg. (I had been on that since hospital 10/2014)

12/2015---just holding, holding, holding, with trileptal/oxcarb at 75 mg. 1/2 tab at hs.  My last psycho med ever!  Tapered @ 10% every 4 weeks, sometimes 2 weeks to

2016 Dec 16 medication free!!

Longer signature post here, with current supplements.

Herb and alcohol free since 5/15/2016.  And.....I quit smoking 11/2021. Lapsed.  Redo of quit smoking 9/28/2022.  Can you say Hallelujah?(took me long enough)💜

I updosed on March 8th.

It’s hard to say for sure if I’m feeling better. I think I am feeling less emotional intensity. 
Im not on any other meds but I do take supplements : vitamin D, l-the anime, magnesium, gaba, vit b complex, omega 3 .

Nausea while tapering

 

Has anybody suffered from daily nausea? Started my taper at 20 mg, now at 18. Started around early aug.

 

It’s debilitating! Is it normal?
