Hi there I have been on seroxat for 13 years never had any probs when first taking it and it helped my ocd a lot. I have had two major anxiety episodes whilst on it and several mini relapases which I now take propananol for.
What I am trying to determine is do I still need the seroxat or should I try coming off it. I am also wondering if the seroxat may have stopped working for me a long time ago thus my anxiety episodes.
I have never tried coming off seroxat and am very nervous about it, I do miss doses all the time i.e. prob only take 4 or 5 every 7 days and dont seem to get any symptoms of withdrawl. I am also nervous about so called poop out in case this causes me to suffer bad withdrawal after being on the drug so long. Can the drug stop working for people without causing withdrawal effects? Also are there any others out there who have been on seroxat for this long 13 years or longer.
Please respond with any thoughts thanks Owain
