Hi all I’ve been back on paroxatine for the past 4wks and I’m feeling really anxious, shaky and feeling really sick. As any1 ever experienced anything like this. How long does it take to kick in properly. Any advice or reassurance please
Hi Debra! I may have just responded to you in another thread but if not, then rest assured that's all normal I think (not familiar with paroxatine but I assume it's also an ssri?). I've been practicing some breathing meditations a couple minutes throughout the day and that seems to help settle myself down. Also drink plenty of water!
Thanks for ure reply frankie it’s just so scary feeling like this and nice to know that I’m not alone going through it . I just can’t wait till the tablets start to kick in properly x
Absolutely!! Try and hang in there! I'd give it a month and a half-2 months and if that stuff still isn't going away I'd ask your Dr. about either upping the dosage or trying a different ssri. Adjusting your diet a bit to get more fruit in might help too (I have peaches as part of my lunch daily now). Some have suggested Tyramine rich things are best to try to avoid too but that seems to vary by person.
