Hi

Freda - I know exactly where you're coming from - Seroxat is renowned for its awful withdrawal symptoms. I was told mine was "Discontinuation Syndrome".

Thing is, doctors and shrinks do still prescribe it and some people have had to go back on it when other meds just won't work for them and they have resigned themselves to staying on it for the rest of their lives.

GSK are being sued for millions of Pounds for the suffering people have gone through and maybe this medication will get banned one day.

My withdrawal was very bad because I was taken off it too quickly but maybe if it is withdrawn very very slowly then the withdrawals may not be so bad.

Regarding the head shocks - I got them badly when I came off Duloxetine a couple of months ago. I think the head shocks are common with all ssri's. It's all nasty stuff innit. xx
