Guest guest Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 The bottom line is, when someone goes off Paxil that quickly, they're going to feel awful. Everyone who has done that has felt quite lousy for quite a long time. There is an option. It can be addressed using certain non- pharmaceuticals to augment the body's chemistry, but this requires close monitoring to constantly adjust to the body's changing needs. It requires getting certain blood tests and working very closely with . Warmly, Kim (co-moderator) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end it was the liquid form. He started with 25mg of paxil cr. I believe when he got to 12.5 he switched to liquid paxil and has been going down mg by mg since then and now since sunday he's been off of it completely.

I mean he took 8 months to come off of it. Either way when he was on it he felt like crap and now off of it he feels like crap.

Another email gave a suggestion. This one merely addresses Dramamine for Paxil withdrawal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 <<I wouldn't say he went off of it quickly. He's been coming off of it for about 8 months?>> ***As I recall, he was on 12mg at Christmastime (having come down from 25mg over an unspecified period of time) and having a lot of withdrawal symptoms. It's usually the last few milligrams that give people the most trouble. That's why I was surprised to see that he was already completely off the drug. 8 months is a long time. It makes me furious that these drugs can do this to people. Perhaps you can share more details about his withdrawal process to give us a more complete picture. Is he taking any supplements?

Regardless, it can be addressed by getting Amino Acids Analysis and treating according to the findings of this. The Amino Acids Analysis uses a 24-hour urine collection to identify and measure 40+ amino acids. A blood test can also be done. From there, the appropriate amino acids are administered in appropriate doses in supplement form. Amino acids are the precursors of neurotransmitters. While some do not have to be given carefully and levels tracked, the one most important to anyone who has been on an SSRI must be carefully administered and measured every couple of weeks. The vast majority of conventional doctors have not worked with amino acids and are not very interested in doing so. This is what Kim referred to in her email last night when she said there was an option. Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
