    looking for advice or experinces from others....been on/off seroxat for 10 yrs...last 5 been on 10mg...now had bad turn couple of months ago and was eventually put up to 40mgs....
    last 2 weeks have felt ok..but bad turn this weekend. My Pyschotherapist told me today that maybe the dose is toohigh in that with some ssri's too much can stop working ????Can anyone help me or tell me their experiences as the worst thing for an axiety suffer is to be told meds are not working or doseage not right

    They should ban that drug from hell.
    I used to cut myself when I was on it and the side effects were horrendous.
    Getting off it made me feel like a smackhead.[V]

    People don;t tend to post positive stuff about meds, all too often all we hear about is the bad. There are tens of thousands of people taking this medication. Everyone is different.
    To be honest, my CB therapist, my CPN, my doctor, and my entire family have told me to stay off the internet because I go looking for reassurance and find nothing but horror stories.
    Take your doctors advice, and feel free to ask for a second opinion from another doctor or from a specialist. Maybe you could be doing with a change in meds? I know that my doctor put me on prozac however the psychiatrist (whom my family DEMANDED I see) stopped that immediately and put me on sertraline, best of luck xxx

    Sorry I didnt mean to offend.[:I]
    Its just knowing that seroxat has caused so many people-so many problems and the makers have even been sued.
    These 2 links may help and I agree you might need a change in meds.
    Hope you get this sorted soon xx

    Hi There - its horrible when you look for answers and get negatives. Dont worry hun - u will be ok.

    I have been on seroxat for 7 years. I have to say it started out as my wonder drug. I am now in the slow process of coming off it. Was on 20mg now down to 8mg. It has been very difficult - the withdrawal has been harder than the original anxiety and depression i was put on it for. But i am withdrawing in order to have a baby so i know its worth it.

    The drug helps many people, but over time you can plato - like i did. The drug doesn't give you the extra oomph anymore - but little niggles come back into your head. Thats not a bad thing though hun, as long as we know how to cope with anxiety you can over come it.

    Talk to your doctor and find a dose that is right for you - but make sure any increase/decrease is done slowly.

    Also i have been taking Omega 3 and vitamin b complex and resuce remedy which really help.

    All the best

    Re: seroxat help please

    HI All, Ive been on seroxat 30mg for about a month now, no longer have anxiety, panic attacks social shyness and my many years of depression is diluting somewhat.... but it does have its side affects too, anger at times, severe nightmares and loss of apetite. I eventually want to get better naturally as I feel im stuck in a haze everyday and that im not my true self while on this medication...Is that too much to ask though? I have that fear about the withdrawl and am sceptical about whether my anxiety, depression etc will return over time! I wud appreciate anyones opinions, experiences and so forth..tanx
