I started taking it about 7yrs ago. 6 months of horrendous side effects followed by what I can only describe as 1 year of bipolar manic episode. I was invincible, took stupid risks which I'll not go into and thought I was a superiour being basically
I started off on 10mg which has gradually increased to 40mg over 7 yrs. I do wonder where this will end...... will I have to increase for the rest of my life?
I did try to come off seroxat once. Got right down to measuring a tiny dose of liquid but suffered severe anxiety with the withdrawal, I had to go back on an increased dose.
I would be wary of taking it with what I know now but was grateful at the time for something to make me feel better.
I find now that it doesnt lift my mood, I just dont care about important things - I feel numb even.
Sorry, I've not been very positive. My advice would be, take this medicaton if you are truely desperate. If you can cope without then please do
