New to the group-want off Paxil

[Guest guest]

I am new to the group and interested in taking better care of myself

nutritionally, physically, and emotionally. I am 45, on 20 mg of

Paxil, 45 mg of generic Remeron, and 200 mg of generic Wellbutrin.

I've been on the Paxil for over 10 years and have had no change in

doses with any of these in probably the last four or five years. I

would like to be off the Paxil and tried twice before: the first time I

tried to get off I had severe stomach cramps and diarrhea. The second

time I had nightly insomnia and anxiety attacks that made me think I

couldn't breathe. These had never been problems before. I was

tapering off, but my overall lifestyle (diet and exercise) was not

good. I am new to the group and trying to collect information before

ever trying again. I am concerned about the long term impact of being

on antideppressants.
