Shaaje off paroxetine

[Shaaje]

Hello everybody.
Before writing, I specify that I am French and that I understand well the translations but I can have difficulty in be understood by writing.  So maybe some people can't read my post because my english sucks   . Do not hesitate to tell it to me.
I am going to write just a little my story and I shall ask my question later.

 

I am in depression since the age of 16 years (a lot of mourning in my life), today I am 27 years old. I have obsessional disorders compulsive since 2009. I lived a mourning 5 years ago (again) and I was able to look after my depression. Today I have medicine treatment ( I began to stop in a progressive way). For more indication, i  stop "stresam" (there is two week approximately), decrease "temesta" (since a few months) and complete stop of deroxat since Monday, July 13th, 2015 and I have only temesta and 1/2 of the "sedatif pc" (homoeopathy) in treatment since Monday. And I admit the stop  of the "déroxat" and the period of weaning is hell for two days (intoxication, fatigue, sensation of electricity in my body, and gastric problem) .  I wanted to know how long this kind of symptoms lasted . I know that every person is different (I work in psychiatique environment, I see different people every day and their reaction are not the same) but I need to know if it is "normal" because I admit it I did not tell my family or my friends that I was in weaning. I need to do my job this monday and i have a difficult to support the secondary effects. I want to know if natural products can decrease the effects of the weaning. Here, in France we call it " grandmother's remedies ".

I know some people can help me to understand my symptoms and if the Atlantic Ocean does not give the impression to you of being too much big to cross by internet , I shall like speaking with people having lived " hell " of a silent disease as the depression or one other ,because for years, I learnt to know me (thanks to my will, to some psychologist) but who of better than to help and to be helped by people who lived " hell " too?  and now I do not speak of you capacity to support my horrible English in writing.

 

Thank you to read me and i hope some answers please !

Welcome Shaaje,

Thank you for posting. I think I can understand your English, but just to make sure, is this right?

 

You stopped taking stresam (etifoxine) two weeks ago

You cut your temesta (Lorazepam) dose in half a few months ago

You stopped taking deroxat (paxil) one week ago?

 

Withdrawal symptoms can last a long time for some people if you don't taper properly. We suggest reducing by no more than 10% of the current dose every 4 weeks, this reduces the risk of withdrawal symptoms arising. Please read through this which will explain why:

  

Why taper by 10% of my dosage?
