Thank you! Can you doa video on synthroid and cytomel?

I ambon this and trying to vome off. I have menopause and anxiety. It helped with neither of these. Ivenalso gained 40 pounds.

I take it for my insomnia and depression. Been taking it for a while. I forgot to take it one night before bed and the next day I was DIZZY drunk.

2-4 weeks for a taper for this drug is BS. Even for a low dose, a very gradual 3-4 month taper minimum is needed. Paxil is extremely difficult to get off and has an extended withdrawal syndrome (months) for majority of users.

Mild Nausea in the morning. A slight disorientation during Heavy excercise. Most side effects went away on the 3rd day. But i have stopped after 1 month as I started feeling much better.

@@dan-tj1om It takes up to one month or two I think to start feeling positive effects from it. Don't get me wrong I am not promoting or encouraging anyone to take it, since you had those symptoms that medicament does not suit your state obviously. I have been taking sertaline in the past but without positive effects, so I stopped taking it, that doesn't mean the drug is bad and not effective just it didn't suit my state, like in your case. And the effectiveness depends obviously of the state of the patient itself. Also I used 5-Hydroxytryptophan natural compound, it worked for a while for me, I recommend it to anyone who has mild symptoms of depression or anxiety. But in my case I suffered from PTSD so I couldn't take only that. I hope you are doing well now, also a lot of exercise helps a lot, though I know with people who have severe depression or anxiety is very difficult to just start doing it.

Just a heads up anyone who has adhd and is on adderall and Paxil I don’t think it will cause weight gain because the Paxil increases appetite but a side effect of adderall is decreased appetite so if your worried about weight gain and you are on both of these medications it would be smart to take the Paxil at night and adderall in the morning if you are worried about any weight gain.

Hello, what is the ejaculatory disorder side effect?

@lmtfa6297

4 жыл бұрын

Hello there. Firstly, always talk to your psychiatrist about any questions regarding antidepressants because only he/she can give you information you should trust. Now, the ejaculatory disorder is mainly a problem of delayed or in some cases absent ejaculation. After 4 months it should either resolve itself or at least decrease. If not you should contact your psychiatrist and talk about switching medication. In case you want to use it for PE you should also talk to your urologist or your psychiatrist. (paroxetine is used as an off-lable medication for PE so you should consider that when you chose your antidepressant.) Wish you the best.
