LORAZEPAM vs PAROXETINE

Catatonia isn’t just “not moving” — it’s a life-threatening neuropsychiatric syndrome that can look wildly different depending on the person. Some people freeze up. Others become agitated. Some collapse into seizures. I’ve lived through both extremes — and I’m sharing this to raise awareness for any

Every person I know who has bp and people I see online all have similar experiences with going cold turkey and being on and off their meds. I don't know why I personally struggle, I take my meds for months and then one day just stop, and yeah, it makes me feel like shit. Even right now I am in a low

I know you guys are working really hard, and it's been a shitty month for all of us, but it feels like you forgot about all of your effects except for the side ones. Like the ones where you maybe stop me from writing a novel for 35 hours straight and getting fired, or maybe throw me a rope when I si

My husband recently went to the psych ward and was diagnosed with unidentified psychotic disorder and catatonia. He was in the hospital a total of 46 days. He thinks the hospital was divine intervention and he taught the psychiatrist all the ideas on how to contain him and now they practice his idea

My psychiatrist just prescribed me Lamotrigine, He started me at a low dose 25mg before bed. I've never taken this medicine before and I don't know what to expect. How long will it take for me to feel better after taking it? What are the side effects? Currently I'm taking Lithium 200mg ×2 Lorazepa

Since when lorazepam kills delusions? I don't know what to google or what this means. If it's not dopamine, then it's not psychiatric? Could be neurological? I sure as hell have been having neurological symptoms, like my head (painlessly, so not dystonia) twisting to the right, memory loss, weird sm

Hello, I was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2017, when I was 21 years old. I went through an active psychotic episode that lasted for about two years, which eventually led to an inpatient stay in a closed psychiatric ward. That happened after a suicide attempt — I had taken my father’s gun and inte

I've been seeing my therapist for almost a year and I'm very honest with her about everything. I smoke/ingest/etc. daily. Although my state does allow recreational marijuana I still purchase it from a medical dispensary since I use it for my anxiety, to help me eat and to help me fall asleep. I am n

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
