@kmilstein All the best to you too. I've been navigating my mental health journey for over 35 years... glad to be surviving this road in on.

Hello
I’ve been on a similar journey. If anyone has any positive comments on Paxil or Paroxetine I’d appreciate it. I was on this antidepressant for 15 years it worked so well until I reached 78 and my dose was too high. I was at 60 mg and developed hand tremors and muscles tightening in my calf’s . I asked to go off. After a long tapering my psychiatrist tried Lexapro and I could not handle the drug after ending up in the emergency room. I then after 60 days off of Paxil I decided to go back on Paxil as it worked for many years . I’m struggling to find my sweet spot and just increased to 22.5 mg. I do hope it will work again.

@maryjjeandennis - I also hope it works for you again. I have found that going on and off or tapering down and titrating up really tests my patience. It takes a long time. Fortunately, when I went on buproprion (Wellbutrin) years ago, the pharmacist alerted me it may be necessary to wait a few (emotionally bumpy) months till my body leveled out and we would know for sure if it worked or not. It did finally work well for me, but I think it took about 5 months. Sigh.

Thankyou and reading other success stories second time around it is rough but I intend to wait it out. I can believe it can take 5 months . Thankyou for your response. I really appreciate it.
