Re: Withdrawal Symptoms from coming off Paroxetine!!
Hi! I'm tapering off Sertraline. I was on 100mg for over 10 years and it stopped working and the anxiety returned. I tapered down to 50mg which was quite difficult. Anxiety through the roof, emotional felt like I was losing my mind. Swapped psychs, who then increased me to 200mg, which I couldn't tolerate, so have tapered back down to 50 which was quite easy. After I got to 100, I tapered 12.5mg per week. All was good until I dropped under 50. Now I'm really feeling it again. Which sucks because I have actually been feeling quite good. Mainly feeling nauseas, a bit dizzy, increased anxiety and feeling a bit down. Trying to just remind myself that this will pass and too be patient with it. I kind of want to get it over and done with so think I will keep dropping weekly. Hope you start to feel better soon. You will get through this. Remember this is just your brain and body adjusting to not having that drug any longer. I guess the same way you have start up side effects when you start, then you have the same when you taper off. Not fun, but millions of other people have done it, so I'm sure we can make it too. Xx
