Seroxat/paroxetine

[Aaron B]

Hi ive been taking the seroxat 10mg now for the last 4 days at first i felt dizz and sick but now im gettin used to them i am starting to feel the benefit. My doctor also gave me a a box of paroxetine 20mgs to start once i finish the weeks course of seroxat which tuesday coming. Im a bit apprehensive about doing that as i feel fine on the 10mgs of seroxat. Will these paroxetine 20mgs make me all dopey or should i break a tablet it half and just take half a 20mg tablet per day?

Any advice would be really helpful, thanks

Hello Aaron B
It will take a while for you to get used to paroxetine, so unfortunetly you will feel dizzy for about a month. But don't worry, 'cause after this first month is gone, you'll only feel better.
And about the medicine, you should take it the way your doctor prescribed it. I was also really nervous about taking so much mg, but in the end you'll only feel the arealdy known dizziness and perhaps a little nauseated, but that's it.

So don't worry and go for it! And if you have any problems, just talk to your doctor or come back here and we'll try to help.
