- A ? about increasing my Paxil dose

[Guest guest]

Hello,

To refresh your memory about my situation: I had been at 10mg of

Paxil for a couple of months. I started having withdrawal symptoms. I

found this group and you informed me that I had been at 10mg for too

long.

I then increased my dose to 15mg for 7 days. I didn't feel better.

I then increased my dose to 20mg. I have taken that for 10 days now.

I was hoping I would see a difference with this dose, but I don't.

My chief symptoms are a fuzzy, heavy feeling head, dizziness, and

difficulty concentrating.

How many days need to go by before I know it is time to increase my

dose? Is now the time?

Should I go up by 5mg, 10mg, or some other amount?

I appreciate your help.

What was your original dose, Donna?

The original dose and the dose that I always end up at

is 40mg. I have taken this since January 1999. I have

made several (incorrect) withdrawal attempts including

two where I have gone cold turkey.
