BUSPIRONE vs PAROXETINE

My mental health lately has been the worst I think it’s EVER been, and I’ve been thinking about killing myself for a while now. I haven’t seriously tried to attempt yet, but it’s an urge that’s almost constantly on my mind. Last night was a really, really bad night for me, and I ended up awake and

I have my ketamine treatment appointment tomorrow morning. It is just the first appointment where they review me and I guess see if I'm a candidate for the treatment. It is being conducted via telehealth. I'm pretty scared that I'll be accepted and find out it doesnt work. Ive tried ssri, atypic

Has anyone else done this?? I’m taking bupropion, buspirone and escitalopram. I’ve been taking them for so long and it feels like they don’t even help. I’m still absolutely miserable. I can’t hold down a job and I can’t even get accepted for disability benefits. Seriously. What is even the point if

I'm finally starting to feel the effects of my anti anxiety/depressant meds, but as much as I like not being anxious, catastrophizing, or stressed, I also feel like I'm not as sharp as I used to be. It's hard to get motivated to do anything. I'm at a point in my life where I need to be maximizing my

i can’t keep a job. i can’t keep a clean house. i barely am able to feed my cats. i barely brush my teeth or hair. i just want to be high or drunk. i just want to smoke. i just want to do all these self destructive activities. i go back to therapy tomorrow. i started taking my buspirone again..but i

I was on 225 mg of Venlafaxine/Effexor. My Depression only felt a little better but the medicine also caused me to be angrier and have extreme mood swings. Psychiatrist also put me on Ziprasidone to help with the mood swings and apparently to boost the effect of the Effexor. I started going to a new

Not looking for hate or criticism but I feel ashamed because I’m on 3 different meds. Zoloft and Wellbutrin to counteract side effects from the Zoloft. And buspirone for anxiety and racing thoughts. I feel like I’m messed up but without these meds, I may not be here today. I’m so grateful for them b

Yes, some individuals will be on them for life, not have issues and good success on them. Some will struggle hard and not be able to get off of them or find one that works well for them. Some will get their bodies destroyed and have the hardest fight of their life to get off these medications. I am

I've read so many sad/bad stories about Paxil/Paroxetine while I was still on it, that I decided I'll write my own once I'm off meds, so that people who are afraid of Paxil after reading all the spooks and scares, would see success stories too. I had major panic attacks and severe anxiety. Anxiety h

How come a psychiatrist prescribes an antidepressant and tells the patient to not look at the side effects? He also assured that there were no effects on sexual function despite the fact that paroxetine is used to treat premature ejaculation in several studies. After deciding to stop paroxetine (due

I just saw a post on instagram and people were saying that brain zaps were genuinely the worst experience of their life, and someone even went to the ER because of it. I’m on day 3 of Paroxetine and I don’t even want to continue (obviously know I can’t just quit now) because of these side effects. I

Hey, looking for a place to vent a little and maybe get some validation. I'm so, so mad and now even more scared as it seems I'm getting no medical help on this. I've stopped Paxil around Christmas. Obviously, I started getting all the fun side effects such as insomnia, nausea and most of all the br

This may seem crazy. But when i was 20ish i was prescribed Deroxat (Paroxetine) for mild depression an social anxiety It worked right from day one, i was numb as wood, that sounds odd but for the first time i didn't have negative feeling (nor good) and that was sooo fucking relaxing, not worrying a

Hi Reddit! I just wanted to say that hope is out there. I'm using a throw-away for obvious reasons. Here is my story. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I had been sinking into depression wors

Hello everybody, I hope all of you are doing okay. So I went on a trip 5 days ago, while everything was on point, I forgot the most important thing to bring with me, I thought it was already in the luggage so I have not bothered checking twice. I take Paroxetine 40mg, and the withdrawals are mild, n
