Hi all,
I agree with everyone, when you first start taking it..the side effects can be bad but when they do get into your system they are a excellent medication, it is a shame that for some people they havent helped.
I think the bad press Seroxat(Paroxatine) has had doesn't help as it scares people off from taking it or when they have tried it the side effects at first stops them from carrying on, i was the same..didn't want to take it but then i thought to myself...'Well i am so bad now as it is..how worse can it get?..the side effects will go..so bloomin well try it!'.
I am so glad i did..apart from bad nausea,tiredness,no appetite,hard to sleep...which went after about a week..i felt calmer and now i am doing well and its only been 3 1/2 weeks...the panics are gone and the racing awful anxiety thoughts too which is the best thing...
I am almost scared to say how much better i feel as it has started helping me so fast incase i jinx myself,lol.
My doctor said they aren't prescribed as much now because for some people they do cause problems and they do have to be withdrawn from properly and very gradually..but he said that is well known that they are one of the best meds for Panic especially, Anxiety and Depression.
I take the brand med Seroxat, does anyone think or has noticed a difference if having taken the Generic and then the brand or vice versa?.
Anyway, enough of me rambling,lol.
I hope you are all doing ok
Carmel
