Paxil

June 1, 2001

Hi Donna,

I took paxil for about a week. It made me feel MUCH worse, very tired and

weak. It got progressively worse until I ended up stopping it a week after

I started. My sister took it though and she really liked it, it worked well

for her. Of course she doesn't have yeast related illness.

I was on Paxil for awhile......it didn't do much for me.

I am now on Welbutrin which I feel good about.

I believe that once we get our bodies in order and are balanced

emotionally and physically, the need for antidepressants will

disappear.

For now though, they can make our lives bearable as we clean out our

intestines, learn to love whole foods while relinquishing junk, and

kill off the harmful organisms that are zapping our vitality.

It took me 10 weeks to come off one paxil. I call that tapering

very slowly. Couldn't even come off completely from 1/2 a tablet

- had to taper down to less than 1/4 every 2 days. That is my

experience with Paxil. in ON

Margaret and Charlyne,

We took Brook off the paxil this weekend. It was causing him to throw

everything in sight, plus his appetite decreased and he was getting hyper. He

is already not a good eater. He seemed to be fixated on one audio tape and

one video tape, which is not like him. Anyway we were trying to decrease his

obsessive water spraying compulsion and that did not happen. Also he wouldn't

listen to us when we told him to stop throwing things. He usually will stop

when you are directly in front of him telling him " no. " So I have to call

the Dr. today and give her the update. Last night he seemed to be back to

normal.

Hi Marisa,

Poor , it's a good thing you took him off but very scary that you and

had to go through that. I worry about the drug interactions all the

time but I know it is a trial and error type of thing. I hope that the dr.

can find something else that may be helpful. Thinking of you.

life saver. ( everyone at home can now breathe without

the fear of me bitein' off their heads lol. God

the full effects of the anti-depressants but I did

notice a change within the first few days

Hi Tom,

I had too many side effects from Paxil, so he tried Zoloft and side effects

there also. So all I take on occassion is Ativan which has been a big help

to me. I'm finally getting a decent night's sleep. I no longer get that

anxious sometimes helpless feeling.

When your ICD went off in front of the group of people, did it cause you to

jerk? Is that why they were laughing?

Good Afternoon Chet,

In addition to Paxil, I also take a Lorazapam (ativan) right before I go

to bed. It has helped me sleep. When the doc and I talked

about dropping Paxil, he thought maybe I would be alright just on the

Lorazapam. Right now I am only taking 1 mg at bedtime. Your

message gives me some encouragement in this area. All I have to do

is find the right soup mix.

My former message was kind of misleading. The group did not

laughj. I was representing the group in front of the County

Commissioners and there was fire in my soul. I was really uptight

about things they were doing. And I could feel my heart beat

increase. When I sat down the ICD fired and I jumped a little in my

chair and my left shoulder kicked back. Within moments I received

my second zap, and then my third....etc. My one buddy took me by

the arm to get me out of the room. I got a total of 6 zaps that

day. After evaluation it was determined that the shocks were

" inappropriate " shocks since I had sinus rhythm, but really

fast (stress related).

I do believe everyone was very concerned for me.....and I appreciated

that.

When I used the word laughing, I meant that I was laughing to myself as I

wrote the email to you. In retrospect, it seems funny now, but was

not fun at the time.

Question - how much Ativan do you take each day?

Hope you are doing well.

Hi chet;

I am not sure if i already welcomed you to the group but if i didn't welcome. I just read your e mail regaarding ativan just becareful because it can be very addictive because if i didnt take my ativan it caused me to have panic attacks thus causing arrythmia. anyway if i am not mistaken(help me people) ativan is also called lorazepam if it is the same drug be careful and you can actually get hooked on it pretty fast. Take a look at these links.

I dont want to scare you but i would like to spare you from the things i went thorough. After my very high dependancy to Ativan(Lorazipam) my doctor put me on clonopin and i didnt even feel the withdrawal symptoms just so you know!...... Good Luck, Good Health and Good Heart. TURK

Turk,

I appreciate the tip on Ativan. I may get my doc to switch me to Clonopin

just for that reason you mentioned.

Did you find Clonopin as effective as Ativan for panic/anxiety attacks?

Hello Chet;

Yes I found Clonopin just as effective or at times more effective then Ativan. Because after a while Ativan started giving me the shakes and i heard a lot of people who developed these shakes after a while. Clonopin on the other hand i found it easy to use aand had no side effetcs for me and as i got on the clonopin i didn't even feel the withdrawal symptoms from Ativan which was very comforting. Good Luck, Good Health and Good Heart. TURK

You are so kind to offer your help for my client. I will tell him about

Mirtazaprine. Will his Dr. know it by that name or is there a more common

name for it?

We totally agree to continue with lots of neurofeedback, and to get him

off the meds again as soon as possible.

Thanks so much,

paxil

well. ( 50% will do this, 25% will fell sleepy also during the first days

Dear

The Mirtazaprine in USA is called Remeron & on the contrary off " cuasi all " ATD

it should be taken before sleep.

ATD usually are taken in the morning ,becasue insomnia is a common adverse

effect -/+ 7% .
