Toast Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 @bijay I am glad that your nausea was improving over the last couple of weeks, even with a dose reduction. This is really promising. Healing is happening!!! I hope you are able to find at least one enjoyable thing out of every day. Definitely reaching out to family and friends is a good idea, though I also get that feeling of not wanting to be a burden. At least reaching out and trying to have nice conversations with them is always okay, even if not always relying on them for support. Sending support and best wishes ❤️ ❤️ 2005 - Zoloft, 200 mg for childhood anxiety (starting at age 11) Summer 2015 - Switched to Prozac, 40 mg June 2019 - Tapered to 10 mg Prozac, no adverse effects.

CloudyToday Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Hi @bijay, I know it's been a long time since your last post. I'm reaching out since I'm facing some challenging digestive issues on my paroxetine taper journey. Reading through your story it sounds like you have/had similar symptoms. These are: stomach dysmotility, nausea, can't eat as usual, low appetite. I'm currently stuck on my current dose since I'm quite scared to make further reductions (you were very brave to power through your symptoms and continue with your taper. This is a real inspiration for me). I wonder, how are you doing these days? Did you see improvement with your GI issues as you progressed with the taper? Thank you in advance ❤️ 2017 - 2018 Lexapro (CT, no withdrawals) 2018 - 2019 Zoloft (CT, no withdrawals) 2/15/21 - paxil 20mg 5/1/22 - started fast tapter, 10mg 3 weeks, 5mg 3 weeks, 0mg 2 days. 7/1/22 - start of withdrawals, dizziness, nausea, loss of appetite, shaky. Reinstated 10mg 8/1/22 - 9mg - anxiety, panic attacks, sleep disorders (4-6 hours) 9/1/22 - 8mg - anxiety, panic attacks are gone. Sleep back to normal. Still struggling with appetite. Sporadic abdominal cramps 10/10/22 - 7.2 mg 11/10/22 - 6.6 mg - Tinnitus started after 2 weeks. Nausea is gone and appetite is slowly returning. 12/12/22 - 6 mg 1/11/23- 5.4 mg 1/13/23- 6 mg (up dosed) nausea is back in full force 5/9/23 - changed to home made liquid (dissolves 20mg in 20ml) - 5.9ml supplements: magnesium 300mg, taurine 2g, fish oil, vitamin E, probiotics, bioactive milk peptides, L-theanine Link to comment
