buxy2222 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Hi there just to introduce myself , i was given seroxat after being told that i suffered anxiety, unfortunately this was not the case i was ill due to severe gyne problems that lead me to being badly anaemic .Following a major operation ect ect it became clear that i really should never of even started this drug as i had no problems with anxiety, depression or anything that it is prescribed for. I tried to cold turkey back in 2002, big big mistake i ended up back on it as the withdrawal was too intense.2004 i started to taper, alternate days as advised by my GP, and took my last 20mg pill, after 5 years use, in September 2004. Since then my life has never been the same, even now 6 years later, i suffer debilitating symptoms daily, yes i have has better days during this time but have never had a full day without some symptom of withdrawal. Ongoing problems that were not present prior to taking this drug are ; anxiety panic depression headaches sinus problems recurring infections fatigue heartbeat irregularities depersonalisation vision problems cognitive impairment allergies and sensitivities The list is endless.....after 6 years of pure hell and loss of social life, work life, family life ect ect, that this drug has taken from me i really just want my life back now Link to comment
Administrator Altostrata Posted March 23, 2011 Administrator Share Posted March 23, 2011 Welcome, buxy2222. Hmmm, some of those symptoms are awfully (and I do mean awful) familiar. Good to hear you have some glimmers when you feel better. This is so frustrating, isn't it? Please keep us posted on your ups and downs in this topic. When, you feel better, it might help to note it here, it could be a comfort when you're in a trough. This is not medical advice.

Healing Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Cheers, Buxy! We never imagined it would take this long, did we? But we're gong to win through! If you had to pick, is there one symptom that tortures you the most? 1996-97 - Paxil x 9 months, tapered, suffered 8 months withdrawal but didn't know it was withdrawal, so... 1998-2001 - Zoloft, tapered, again unwittingly went into withdrawal, so... 2002-03 - Paxil x 20 months, developed severe headaches, so... Sep 03 - May 05 - Paxil taper took 20 months, severe physical, moderate psychological symptoms Sep 03 - Jun 05 - took Prozac to help with Paxil taper - not recommended Jul 05 to date - post-taper, severe psychological, moderate physical symptoms, improving very slowly Link to comment

Claudius Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I am really sad about your story Buxy. You are even 3 years ahead of me, about 6.5 years off and still so many problems. It is my worst fear that damage is really permanent, but I have still not crossed the "David Healy" 4 years border and am apparently in better shape than you though I am still unable to work due to remaining symptoms caused by CNS destabilization. I am the last one to advocate meds but have you ever thought of starting some less dangerous, non SSRI med? I know all of us, including me, are very anti those meds and very scary of their addictive and long-term effects. But I have thought by myself some time earlier that at one point I have to choose to staying off and feel crap for the rest of my life, or feel better with some med. Of course we did not need those meds in the first place, but what if we are so damaged by the meds that we will never feel normal again without some med? I still tend to believe that we all heal, but your story makes me nervous and anxious. And just like anybody else I want to postpone the irreversible decision to get back at someting as long as possible. Wish you all the best and hope that healing finally comes! 10 mg Paxil/Seroxat since 2002 several attempts to quit since 2004 Quit c/t again Oktober 2007, in protracted w/d since then after 3.5 years slight improvement but still on the road after 6 years pretty much recovered but still some nasty residual sypmtons after 8.5 years working again on a 90% base and basically functioning normally again!

Hi there, no I certainly do not believe that this is permanent,although yes for some it takes a heck of a long time to recover...im not kidding myself I really don`t think I will ever be what I once was... ie i do believe that I will always be more sensitive to stimulants ect. Going back to drugs is not for me, i had such a bad reaction to my first ever meds which led me to Seroxat that no tyvm im not sure which is the less of the two evils, reactions or withdrawal but at least abstaining gives me a chance to recover and maybe get a quality of life back, going back could mean more damage to the very parts of my body that have been allowed to heal in the last 6 years. I could never do another withdrawal......ever. I also tend to beleive that anything that is considered a permanent state is just that.....withdrawal is ups and downs, ok no fab feel great days but some are very tolerable and no 2 days are the same for me which kinda lets me know im not in a permanent state of damage. Im no expert and some days i really can`t ever see feeling better but i have to take my chances and live on hope. Thankyou for your well wishes and hope healing finally comes to us all Link to comment

I could never do another withdrawal......ever. That is exacptly my point, and although I have felt enormous pressure from some family members and "doctors" to resume a med, I am still glad I dod jnot, and indeed, it is surely possible that the brittle recovery from 3,4,5 years will be undone in a few weeks or even days. And just like you I will never ever survivie a second years-long WD. So hanging on is our only option. BEsides the pure WD oriented misery, in my case there is also a lot of emotionsl stuff that had accumulated in my body and the release of that is WD triggered. Maybe, just MAYBE one day I will say that WD is in one sense been a blessing bwcause it finally forced me to deal with the past and break thoguh my emotional blocked patters. I a sens I feel more free and human now than before WD, it is just the remaining symptoms that still s*ck... But ths can be different for anybody. I believe more and more that WD can also be a kind of awakening. But in our case, quitting Cold Turkey or even worse, alternating doses, has probably done our brain real physical/chemical damage which takes very long to heal... 10 mg Paxil/Seroxat since 2002 several attempts to quit since 2004 Quit c/t again Oktober 2007, in protracted w/d since then after 3.5 years slight improvement but still on the road after 6 years pretty much recovered but still some nasty residual sypmtons after 8.5 years working again on a 90% base and basically functioning normally again!

Druid Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I agree implicitly on the "no more drugs for me" front. I really believe the best chance we have of healing is leaving our poor assaulted brains and bodies alone to heal. Doctors have suggested to me in the past that i "reinstate".. That makes it sound like not such a bad thing... like re-joining a club or forum that You have been a previous member of etc. What i interpret this as is.. and this is purely just my own opinion.. It's like i have stepped out in front of a car and got myself all mangled up because of this particular action.. and what the doctor is suggesting is that i step out in front of another car to see if it knocks me back into shape. No thanks doc!... It was because of drugs that i am like this.. why on earth would i take more of the same, the very thing that got me into this mess in the first place. Our bodies and brains are truly incredible things with unfathomable complexity.. I just cant believe Psychiatrists and doctors arrogance in thinking that they can tamper with something so complex and so beyond their understanding with mind altering drugs like these.. It would make more sense for a monkey to try and fix my computer with a hammer than to let a doctor try and fix my brain with these drugs.. and i mean no disrespect to the subject matter... i really like monkeys...

Claudius Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 It was because of drugs that i am like this.. why on earth would i take more of the same, the very thing that got me into this mess in the first place. Ironically, when early in cold-turkey WD and when it becomes apparent that you belong to the group who cannot do this, the best thing you can do is going back and taper. An analogy that I once read on PP is : "get back to to the dog that bit you". And when I could turn the clock back to end 2007, I would surely have gone back and taper the right way, because 2008 and 2009 were almost compeltely lost years for me, and 2010 only slightly better. But now we are so far in WD, going back and taper is indeed no valid option anymore. And it is the repuslive feeling towrard these drugs that people go CT or want to get off as soon as possible. I read many Dutch fora and many people write that they are very sick after quitting but "Want the crap out of their bodies as soon as possible". Very understandable but also the most deadly trap which I too felt into several times. And nearly paid for it with my life. Of course the doctors are to blame for this, and even more, the criminal mafiosic industry behind this. 10 mg Paxil/Seroxat since 2002 several attempts to quit since 2004 Quit c/t again Oktober 2007, in protracted w/d since then after 3.5 years slight improvement but still on the road after 6 years pretty much recovered but still some nasty residual sypmtons after 8.5 years working again on a 90% base and basically functioning normally again!

Druid Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I Agree Claudius.. I made the very same mistake through ignorance.. I had those very same feelings, i just wanted that toxic filth out of my body as quickly as possible and learned the hard way what a huge mistake this was.. I would always strongly recommend a VERY, very slow taper.. Link to comment
Neuroplastic Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 So glad to read, folks, you all agree on this one thing. Why on earth should we go back to something that caused this all? In some, the healing process takes longer than on average. We truly believe that after having collected enough data on this forum, (and it's been growing at an amazing pace), we will be able to answer the question "why is WD so different between people".
