thanks Matt! do you take paroxetine?

5

I don’t anymore, but did from 2006 until 2016. Are you just starting, Sam?

6

yeah started yesterday…I’m not taking it again! side effects are horrible!

Good👍 I’m glad you’ve said that. I remember the side effects when i started paroxetine. It does work well for anxiety but it’s also very, very hard to withdraw from. It took me nearly 18 months to get off it, so ask your Dr for something else.

Are you in the UK? If so you’ve done well to get a Dr to prescribe diazepam. What dose and how many did you get?

yeah I’m from the UK. doctors have given me loads of diazepam! only 2mg but I get prescriptions of 24 at a time no problems.
2mg at a time is enough for me though, I think I’ve got a really low tolerance to medication.

I have been using diazepam 2mg for 9 months, sometimes 4mg, but I am afraid to take it together with paroxetine.
