I ended up having to go up to 15mg for a week. This was 1/2 the dosage of 30mg I was on. Cold turkey just didn’t work. I was loosing emotional control and hot/cold didn’t feel good. Severe nausea and dizziness. I’m fine now at the 1/2 dose. In a couple days I will be bumping down to 10mg.
So not the greatest news of I went cold turkey and made it, but at 1/2 dosage, and feeling more clear headed than I have in months.
I am extremely happy.
Columbus, Oh.
After being on Paxil for several years. I’ve decided to not take it any more.
It was an extremely low dosage anyway. It’s been 72 hours now.
Last year I tried and never got past, I think. 23 hours without a panic attack.
This time it is different.
Day 1 - Went very well. No noticible difference it being on or being off.
Day 2 - I had a severe migraine, dizziness and tight forehead feeling
Day 3 - So far no headache, no tight head.
I still have mild dizziness whenever I’m not sitting or laying down.
I also feel a little giddy on the happy side. No fear, no panic though.
Right now I guess I’m a mixed bag of nuts. If the dizziness goes away,
I will feel better mentally than I have in years.
I do not wish to go back to that dark hole again.
I praise GOD for this awesome breakthrough!!!!!
