second time around

[joy]

well thats good the anx has improved. What physicall symptoms do you get if i may ask. If you were on 30 before doubtless you need it again.

physical syptoms include tension headaches, tiredness.

hope 30mg does the trick i would not like to go higher in doseage

[joy]

I expect it will as you are feeling some benefit already altho there is a school of thought that the second time around you may need a higher dose.Keep in touch to tell me how you get on

Hi Joy

Why the trepidation about trying Seroxat again? If it worked the first time. why shouldn't it work again?

I know how difficult these meds can be. I have a kind of love-hate relationship with Seroxat and try to come off it from time to time. I suppose we would all prefer to try and live our lives without these chemical crutches but sometimes they are all we have.

Hope this helps...

Good luck

Hi Joy...

Like all Anti-D's, it can take a few weeks for any benefits to be noticed and, yes, anxiety does increase for the first few weeks. I suppose you just have to persevere and give them time to do their funky stuff.

If ever a condition called for a radical change to an individual's way of life or caused a person to seriously question that way of life ...it's depression.

Sorry I don't have more cheerful news.

Good luck with the meds.

Hey I stoped 20mg paroxetine 9 months ago and was off for 4months.....worst thing I ever did! But i did it for wanting a baby and for my husband

I have gone back on it and yes you have more anxiety and symptoms for a few weeks but after 4 weeks I felt back to normal

Now this time around I will go and see a psychiatrist and ob and see if there is any hope for me having kids, I couldnt live if i caused my baby a problem and my husband is dead set against meds in pregnancy

Stuck between a rock and a hard place.....I know i need these meds yet I want kids, I'm very sad.

How are you getting on Joy have the side effects gone, and have the meds kicked in yet?

[joy]

no real good news as yet 2 weeks on 20mg but just (yesterday) finished cross tapering off sertraline. Actually felt better last week than this, very shaky and anx last few days,difficult to know if its withdrawal or side effects, Still praying it will work. How are you getting on and thank you for asking
