I've been taking 10mg paroxitene for almost 2 month's and i decided to wean off it myself. I've been taking 5mg for a week now and been feeling really crappy lately. My head has been feeling weird hard to explain like i have trouble concentrating. My body feels like little shocks that last a second and can make me feel weird and I've been feeling it almost all day. Does anyone know how long I last? Is it normal?
Lopez you need to work with your doctor when weaning of antidepressants. My advice would be for you to tell your doctor whats going on and let him decide if you need to give this medication more time to work or add another, adjust your dosage, wean of or put you on a different med. Good luck.
It sounds like withdrawal signs and symptoms. These will ease but it is best to discuss this with your dr and perhaps seek alternative therapy if you do not wish to take any more medication.
There is a lot of help available such as meditation, mindfulness, relaxation techniques, yoga , cbt etc, etc. There are online tapes videos etc.
However please do discuss with your GP . Take care .
Take care.
