Guest guest Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 Hi : Today was a little better than the day before. No real headaches. Again I had to work so keeping busy for me appears to be a good thing. I am taking Calcium and Magnesium - separately as you have suggested to others. I am also taking a B50 Complex and 1000mg Vit C. I am going to stay at the 3.75 till my body has completely calmed down. Should I cut again at some point or just quit at 3.75mg.? Thank you, > Dear , > > > You said: > > > <<I cut from 5mg. to 3.75mg. Today is a little better.

I'd cut again, not just discontinue. But yes, do give yourself some time to settle in and become stabilized before doing this. There's no need to make it any more difficult than it already is.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Dear Gerry, You said: <<Before she started on ssri's she had mild anxiety and a learning disability however now (present day) we are dealing with a 15year old consumed with the thought of suicide, depression, very anxious, compulsive and mood swings. If anyone can offer suggestions we are desperate for a way out of this nightmare.>> ** I can help you but I'll need more background on this. How quickly are you reducing Zoloft? Was she taken off Paxil immediately and placed on Zoloft when this switch occurred? Don't do any more decreases of Zoloft at this point in time. Some of her symptoms are also due to withdrawal. Can you tell me more about " consumed with the thought of suicide, depression, very anxious, compulsive and mood swings " ? Is this every day? How prone was she to any of these things before? When being compulsive what does she do? How often does she mention suicide? What else does she say about it? The goal right now would be to stabilize her. Use of homeopathic remedies Any other info you can give will help. Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stick around and you'll find good advice on how to take her off the drugs. -joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 The bad news is obvious (your 15 yr. old daughter has been given legal drugs which have her realy messed up)BUT....there is GOOD NEWS...and that is this: You have found THIS GROUP!! Words can never express the gratitude my family feels towards and the people who make up this group! Had we not stumbled upon these folks my son would probably be locked up in a padded cell somewhere or strapped down to a bed. I am not exaggerating, not even a little! My son is still not " out of the woods " ..We continue to slowly reduce his paxil doseage...but he's doing it with much fewer side effects than before. I won't kid you...it's not easy..but it's the only way out of the paxil (SSRI) nightmare. I quickly realized there were no acceptable alternatives. Follow 's advise, as far as I'm concerned she is the next best thing to a " miracle " ..and finding her in the middle of cyberspace may even qualify as a bit of a miracle in itself. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Blessings~~ Cheryl > My 15 year old daughter is presently on 50 mg zoloft and we are in > the process of weaning her off.
