Guest guest Posted February 1, 2000 Report Share Posted February 1, 2000 I took paxil for a long time for panic attacks, and although i didn't know i had CMT at the time, i was affected, and it made me feel extremely weak, and my legs went numb occasionally. Made my hands shake, too. I didn't like it, so I eventually stopped taking it completely. I hope that was some help. :-) __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP DIMITRIOS GREECE >> It is for panic attacks and depresson. I thought maybe I was having a side effect from it but now I think it was the weather and poor circulation. There is not anyway I can live with it paxil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 18, 2001 Report Share Posted December 18, 2001 I have heard that paxil is actually highly addictive (contrary to what the information says) and many people who were prescribed it and took it wish they had taken something else, as they can't stop taking it now. 20/20 (I think-maybe Dateline) did a peice on it too. Maybe try doing an internet search to learn more? > >To: rosacea-support >Subject: Paxil >Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2001 06:36:40 -0000 > >Hi everyone, > > I visited my derm today and he said that I should start taking >paxil.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2001 Report Share Posted December 18, 2001 I was on 10-20 miligrams of paxil for approx 6 months. I didnt find it at all addictive. Perhaps in higher doses????? I quit cause I didnt find it helping some of the reasons I got on it. However, I actually felt it helped for depression. I didnt find it helped or changed my rosacea. Although, I have a different type then most. Mine was caused by a strong glycolic acid peel which made my skin so sensitive I suddenly reacted to ALL topicals. So my redness is caused by constant irritation then subsequent broken capillaries from irritation. If your redness is caused by emotions it could help. I heard Zoloft may be good for us.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2001 Report Share Posted December 24, 2001 I tried Paxil (SSRI) for 6 months worked up to 50mg 3 years ago with zero benefits. Am now considering trying Effexor-XR which is an SSNRI that many more flushers include those with EM say have helped. Will start with lowest dose 37.5mg for 6-8 weeks before upping it (low & slow approach). Clonidine helps fast with flushing & blushing but not depression which it can in fact worsen.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 My son takes 5htp, 50mg twice a day with 50 mg of B-6 twice a day. It is supposed to balance out seritonin levels.
