Hello there,
I've been on seroxat for several years now & it's the only thing that helps my OCD & GAD to the point that I can live a relatively normal life.
However, a couple of days ago I started to get bouts of strange symtoms, sweating, disorientation, anxiety & more. The last time this happened it was discovered that I'd just been given & started a GENERIC perscription of paroxetine not Seroxat itself & when this situation was rectified, I was fine again. As a result, when I started getting this dreadful symtoms again a few days ago I suddenly remembered I'd started a new batch / perscription the night before so I checked the packaging to see if I'd been given another generic lot. To my confusion I discovered that the packaging wasn't generic & that it was actually Seroxat. The only difference was that they've changed the packaging a bit & the tablets no longer say seroxat on them, just '20'. I was baffled & as I discovered a couple of pills in my draw from the previous lot of Seroxat I'd been given I decided to experiment & took one of those the following night. The next day I felt fine. I decided to try the new perscription the next night & the awful symptoms returned. I now have none of my previous perscription left so am stuck with this new batch. The fact that these symptoms have occured right when I've started a new batch is more than coincidence so I was wondering if they'd changed the recipie? Although that's something they should never do without warning us as they are messing with people's minds. I feel like I;ve been put on a different drug or that I'm on a different dose....maybe they've been mistaken for 20 mg pills when they are really 10 mg or 30 mg?
I was wondering if anyone else had recently received a new batch & are experiencing problems?
Please help I don't know what to do!
Kind regards,
Mandy
