Cressida Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 Not been here for ages. Stopped Seroxat 2012. After an episode of atrial fibrillation been started on an anti coagulant called Edoxaban . After four months I forgot a dose yesterday .Anxiety started to build in the afternoon and I woke at 1215am with my body burning, heart pounding , off the wall anxiety . Just like SSRI withdrawal in fact . Looking online found something. But as always with these things it takes a long time for data to collect . I took another tablet at midnight when I woke up and I will have to ease it round to morning time over a few days . Am hoping the symptoms will subside over a few days as drug reinstated . I would be in trouble if needed to stop suddenly for example needing surgery . Has anyone else heard of this? If not be aware Paxil 10mg 21/2 years to June 2012 after a 2 month taper Link to comment
Vasherr Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 The unspoken fact is that many of the 'normal' drugs are also psychotropics, only difference is that it is not their main effect. You can check by Yourself for example antibiotics furazolidone and whole imidazoline group are monoamine oxidase inhibitors, the same as older antidepressants. From what I remember triptans are also psychotropic, and many more so it is good to check for possible psychotropic effects before taking anything and also if the drug crosses the blood-brain barrier, if not it should be safer.
