FLUOXETINE vs PAROXETINE

I am depression. The person I used to be is gone, there is no going back from this. I'm just sat In the hospital while my mum speaks to cahms, trying to hide my neck from all the other patients. I'm desperate to leave the hospital and get home but I know I'm gonna try again eventually. I've been on

Started seeing a therapist in April 2013 because my mum was worried about me. The therapist was in her mid 20's, and was pretty, so I felt a level of attraction to her, and told her a lot of things about me that I hadn't told anyone. I was in high school at the time, an all boys one, so she was basi

Hello everyone, my name is Samuel, I'm 14 years old and I'm Brazilian. I've been having these thoughts for about two or three years, but in the last few days they've gotten a lot worse. especially after I started taking fluoxetine I think about suicide all day and it haunts me all the time, I can'

I feel like the anti-anxiety effects of this drug (Fluoxetine AKA Prozax), which have been good in a lot of ways, have caused me to lose a certain sense of 'urgency' or 'appropriate' anxiety towards things like academic deadlines etc. Things I really should be worrying about don't really make me anx

Hi! hope someone who is not feeling good read this. I tried to commit suicide two years ago. in fact, using another reddit account I found help with this community before, and people was really nice!.. So now I want to write this just to i dunno... maybe put some hope in at least someone. I've bee

A brief summary: so I had major depression & severe for anxiety for about 1.5yrs, it was serious & I was at an all time low, hospital admissions, the lot. Doctors suspected it was drug induced (from MDMA), which I completely agree with, it was the time I spiralled down HARD, and also situati

I am on 20mg of fluoxetine and it’s stopping me from crying almost completely, I can occasionally squeeze out a tear or two and I’ve had one been breakdown when I was drunk but other than that the feelings build in my body and I feel worse and worse but it has nowhere to go. I’m also breaking out in

7 months ago, I took fluoxetine for a total of 14 days, after a period of mild depression. Although far from being perfectly stable, I was still an energetic, passionate, intelligent young man with big aspirations and a lot to live for. Those 14 pills changed all of that. After about a week on the m

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
