PAROXETINE vs QUETIAPINE

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

I turned 26 last year and got booted off my dad's insurance. I was still in school at the time and not working. I looked for coverage on the exchange and none of the plans would cover my antipsychotic (quetiapine/seroquel). I had to go on COBRA which meant I would be getting the same coverage that I

Yeah, it's been a bit weird. My psych and I are lowering my quetiapine in the hopes to get off it entirely because frankly, I'm suffocating under it. I knew I'd be signing up for some discomfort through this process; the balancing act is keeping it in the green and not tanking into someplace scary.

I finally started medication (quetiapine + lamotrigine) today, after a really long mental battle, so I was feeling pretty proud and good after my psych appointment today. Then I came home, decided to tell my Mum (because she always complains I don’t tell her enough, I still live with her as I’m stil

I'm so tired. I've been suffering for months due to medication side effects. Olanzapine triggered my POTS and I haven't recovered since August. I'm constantly dizzy and I can barely leave the house. Ive only been to the store 5 times since then. I constantly have anxiety and panic attacks fearing I'

I feel a weird sense of relief having a name to this perpetual cycle of sadness and mania. I was apprehensive at first to seek help since there would be times I'd be happy and I used to downplay my sadness as being overreactions to heartbreaks or failures. I'm excited to start my medications (lamot

I've lived in the same place for about 2 years and there's a pharmacy right across the street where I go to fill my prescriptions. They have low turnover so it's always the same people who see me. And of course by now they know what I have since I buy all the classic stuff: lithium, lamotrigine, que

I need to share this with someone because if I tell my family they will freak out. I am currently travelling Asia, in Vietnam. Last night a depressive episode hit me like a ton of bricks despite slow release venlafaxine, 500mg quetiapine and propanol in my system. I went to the 8th floor of my hote
