Hello there, can someone help me? :)
I was prescribed Paxil (Paroxetine) for panic attacks and depression back in 2004 (20mg a day) and the medication worked very well until April 2011 when I was abusing alcohol due to personal reasons.
So I visited my doctor and told her about my problems, she then changed me over to Mirtazapine, which I have been taking since April of last year. I have been on 15mg, then up to 30mg - both of which do nothing for me (apart from make me feel like a zombie and sleep all the time).
Because of this, I am going back to my doctor tomorrow morning and want to chat about Paroxetine.
Is there a chance that it would work for me again? Because I've read on various internet forums that you should never go back to Paroxetine, as it doesn't work the second time.
I really hope this isn't true because out of all the anti depressants I've tried, Paxil worked wonders for a long time.
Or is it worth me trying something new like Citalopram?
