View Full Version : Seroxat (Paxil) and loss of taste
I've just transitioned from Citalipram to Seroxat and in the past few days have upped my does from 10 to 20mg. I've suddenly noticed a loss of taste sensation in my mouth, not a complete loss of taste but very noticable.
Has anyone had this with SSRIs? ironically I'm feelimng slightly better in my head so I could do without another worry.
Thanks
this is a common side effect when you begin seroxat. have been on them for 10 yrs, it usually goes
Thanks
I did check the notes and couldn't see anything about loss of taste, plus I did take Seroxat a few years back and don't remember getting this. It has scared me a bit (or a lot at this moment) especially since a lot of my recent anxiety has been around mouth/speech issues.
Have others heard of the loss of tste phenomenon with SSRIs?
I'm bumping this one because I'm desperate.
Like a complete idiot (again) I started googling to try and convince myself that I don't have MND, specifically Bulbar onset that affects the mouth, tongue and throat.
I read someone saying about pronounciation problems (which I have) and producing excess saliva (which I'm also getting) and now I'm properly freaking!!
I was feeling low anyway, hope it's not the Seroxat making me crazy. I know feel like the only way to move forward is to see a Neuro - I'm doing the very things my CBT therapist is telling me not to.
Any positive words would help right now.
Thanks

i have been on seroxat 20mg for ten years too. i saw a new doctor the other day and she told me that i am only meant to be on them for a year!
but when i try coming off of them i get the head shocks and other horrible withdrawal symptoms.
do you plan on coming off of them?
