@lisalucier I am in this mess because of the doctor, against my better judgement I did what he said and now I’m suffering so much. I plan to go back to see him and try to make him understand what happened without getting him defensive, I tried telling him that I have to go very slowly with the taper but he said that’s nonsense because I only took 2.5 mg. for a month, however it can happen even with low dose and short term use, the medication in question is Paxil and it’s known to be very difficult to get off them due to a short term in your system. I have done a ton of research and they offer several solutions, one of them is to go back on another longer lasting antidepressant and then start a very slow taper, my angst is that I get so many side effects from these drugs and I feel very tired and worn out from months of not sleeping much. I realize that I have to do something because I’m not going to last long at this rate, thank you for your help, I feel so alone with this situation but I do realize that many people are going through similar issues.
