Cheeky: on Paxil for 23 years needing advice

One of the reasons we only recommend dropping one med at a time is some meds "boost" others.

So to drop one means your also dropping the other.

 

That was the case with my Wellbutrin boosting my Paxil so when I took the Wellbutrin, it "upped" my Paxil dose to an unknown amount higher than the 25mgs I thought I was taking. 

 

So when I dropped both at the same time, I was actually making a larger  percentage drop of my Paxil than I realized. I don't know much about Seroquel so when ever your ready to drop again you might want to do some research on if they affect each other and which may be more beneficial to begin with.

 

 

That’s interesting, I don’t really know why. How would I find that out ? Could someone here know

  • 1995 started Paxil 20mg slowly increasing to 50mg 2014 I decided to tapper myself not knowing how too and crashed , DR added 50mg of Seroquel

  • Through the years made many mistakes tapering

  • Started Tapering Both drugs at the same time 7.5% per month Paxil 9% Seroquel doing daily micro-taper 

  • Guided by Mark Horowitz

  • 31/3/24 Paxil 10.31mg

  • 31/3/24 Seroquel 9.9mg

That is really  interesting, I never thought if that . Reading through the thread “what drug to taper first” it say Seroquel in a brake and Paxil is activating. I just thought if I was on Seroquel for a shorter amount of time 6 years , I should get if that first. But I don’t know now . I wonder what mod here would be good with advice in this .

Yeah okay, mornings are awful full of dread. The day was better a little aniexty in the afternoon , just feeling so sensitive about everything . I think I read too many horror stories and it gets me down about my future.

@Cheeky  Mornings are usually the hardest for me.  I try to go for a walk in the morning.  That helps start the day.  Besides it can get to hot later in the day.

Do you get weak muscles? My arm muscles feel weak a lot.  My legs to but not a much as my arms.  

I am very sensitive too.  I get over stimulated easily and a thought will pop into my mind and I will feel a panic then that will me feel sad and sometimes worthless because my mind jumps to I will never be better, It is like a chain reaction.  I am  so over emotional about things.  I could really use a day were I feel confident and no W/D symptoms and I can watch tv, read a book, think like a normal person.

 

I am so ready for this to be over with.  I try not think of some of the members that struggle for months if not years.  They must get good windows because I don't know how you can live like this for so long.  

I better stop with the negative commentary.🥵

I hope you are doing better than me☺️

The body is an amazing thing and it can heal itself. I know what you mean about wanting it to be over. I’ve had enough of this too and want myself back, the windows I’m getting encouraged me through the waves .

@Greatful I think your doing amazing with what you’ve been through with the changes of meds . They did that for me once in 2015 and tried  me on all different meds , it was 3 months of hell. I went back to my original drug Paxil as I knew the withdrawals was coming from that. I was lucky reinstatement worked with the added Seroquel of course . If I had never tried coming off none of this drama would’ve happened to me. My brother-in-law has been on Paxil the same time 25 years and take extremely high dose 60mg and was also on Xanax at a small dose. He came off Xanax a few years ago without any problems. My sister is on celexa for 21 years. They don’t understand why I put myself through trying to come off so they gave no sympathy for me. Sometimes I wonder what I’m doing to , if I can just get to live and withdraw from these drugs slowly , is all I want .we both have to hang on.

At least you were smart enough to know it was W/D.  There are times I want to go to my doctor and give him a piece of my mind.  I know that they are doing  what they were told,/taught, but is that an excuse when so many people are going through the same thing when they try and get off.  40% to 60% of people will go through some W/D.   My gosh my doctor was encouraging me to take more Xanax.  The lack of knowledge has turned both of us into being poly drugged.

How did you feel when you were taking them?  I didn't feel so good on them. I didn't know any better, just keep taking them.  When I would try on quit W/D would hit (didn't know it was W/D so back on I would go.  I still had anxiety and some low mood on them.  I would get really foggy at times or very hyper.    I am hoping that when I get off I will see that feel better.  

Clearer thinking for sure.

 

 I know that I am slowly improving, I mean slowly.  Not stable yet but I think I might make a 1% cut on the Lex soon.  I am a fast metabolizer with Lex. I am on 5mg and I wonder if it is doing anything but making me sicker.  I might be wishful thinking.  I really wish I would have listened to my body when I was having such a bad reaction at start up.  I guess hindsight is 20/20.

 

Thanks for chatting with me.  It is nice to just talk sometimes.

@Cheeky  Have either one, your brother in-law or sister increase their doses as the years go by?  I see you slowly went up.  They are lucky so far that they haven't hit the tolerance level yet.

I know sometimes the drug stops working, then you have to add to it or switch to something else. Maybe they will be lucky and never have any problems

I wouldn’t do anything yet , I know you want off these drugs  but you have to be  stable before even trying .

Have either one, your brother in-law or sister increase their doses as the years go by?  I see you slowly went up.  They are lucky so far that they haven't hit the tolerance level yet.

Yes my duster did 5 years ago becouse she was stressed , not sure if it’s tolerance though . My birther_ in-law jeopardy upping and lowering his.  I don’t know if everybody hits tolerance .

Okay update time. 
The last three das  has been relatively good , I have  still had morning aniexty and in the afternoon I feel a little anxious but have been doing good the other time functioning going out shopping , cooking and looking after my family . I still feel quite vulnerable with my nervous system and can get jumpy if I hear a loud noise but copping with that . I’m eating a little more when I feel good  , as I  don’t want to lose any more weight . I just hope this continues and I see improvements. I’m sleeping around 8 hours a night and having no more sweats or waking up . 
I do have a question though . I’m thinking of tapering my Paxil next til I get to 10mg as I think that is the activating drug and I know the Seroquel is a brake. I also think that since I’ve gotten down so much of my Seroquel that that has been the problem Why I’ve had so much more energy and sleeping less and was waking up alit since my last drop . I’m not sure and would sooo appreciate the mods help with this one. @brassmonkey  @Gridley  @ChessieCat @Altostrata

@Cheeky  Hi there, you sound chipper.

I have a question for you.  My thinking is still off.  I struggle to make my brain work.  Do you have this?  I feel if I could get my head out of the sand and making more

 sense I would feel better.  I could explain my brain feeling like   when you look into a one of those funny mirrors at fairs, were it is all distorted.  That is what my brain feels like a lot. 

 

When do you think you might shave a hair off of your Paxil?

 

I keep weight too.  I can eat but most of the time nothing sounds good

I just found out you are about 14 hours ahead of me.  Wow It is hard to remember that some people are in bed when I am up........

Happy dreams💤

@Cheeky would you please update your signature to show the month for reaching your current dose of Seroquel, it would be really helpful.

 

I see no problem with holding the Seroquel and tapering the Paxil for a while. Depending on how long you've been holding you may want to hold a bit longer to get good and stable before doing it. If you are feeling better ATM why not enjoy it for a few weeks before changing things up again.

 

I really would recommend a Brassmonkey Slide when you do start to taper the Paxil. We want to keep things as gentle as possible.

20 years on Paxil starting at 20mg and working up to 40mg. Sept 2011 started 10% every 6 weeks taper (2.5% every week for 4 weeks then hold for 2 additional weeks), currently at 7.9mg. Oct 2011 CTed 15oz vodka a night, to only drinking 2 beers most nights, totally sober Feb 2013.

Since I wrote this I have continued to decrease my dose by 10% every 6 weeks (2.5% every week for 4 weeks and then hold for an additional 2 weeks). I added in an extra 6 week hold when I hit 10mg to let things settle out even more. When I hit 3mgpw it became hard to split the drop into 4 parts so I switched to dropping 1mgpw (pill weight) every week for 3 weeks and then holding for another 3 weeks.  The 3 + 3 schedule turned out to be too harsh so I cut back to dropping 1mgpw every 4 weeks which is working better.

Final Dose 0.016mg.     Current dose 0.000mg 04-15-2017

Yes it’s like your brain is disoriented and you can’t multitask. That’s normal in a wave . It will come back , try not to worry about as it won’t do anything except stress  you out more .

Do you see the drop down menu? After you click on the 3 bars you should get a drop down menu, from there you can get other menus.  I don't have i phone ( I have a different one) my husband does and this is how he said it should work.  He wants to know if you are using Safari?

 

And yes I will let you know if we come to Australia.

I was smiling to myself thinking we all feel disconnected in the brain and here we are chatting with someone we have no idea what they look like.  Kind of symbolic

Do you see the drop down menu? After you click on the 3 bars you should get a drop down menu, from there you can get other menus.  I don't have i phone ( I have a different one) my husband does and this is how he said it should work.  He wants to know if you are using Safari?

 

And yes I will let you know if we come to Australia.

I was smiling to myself thinking we all feel disconnected in the brain and here we are chatting with someone we have no idea what they look like.  Kind of symbolic

lo I know right, I feel you peeps know me better then anybody else. There a special connection we all have and this is a place I feel so safe talking about my struggles.
