I am on paxil right now and weening myself off but i just wanted to know that dizziness and headaches were ok?

Answer 1

Try some Goji juice...it is called the "Happy Berry" and really lifts the mood...all natural....Omega Mood by country life is also excellent. These will help get thru the transition and you will feel wonderful. I don't get migraines since i drink 4 ounces of Goji Juice everyday!!BE Well

Answer 2

It can be, but it can also be a side effect of the original 'depression', and your own bodies' response. Some people need to wean off slower than others, such as 1 pill/part less every 3 to 7 days. Working with your doctor is important, as getting rid of one medicine may need to be replaced by another kind. Usually extra fluids can be helpful to flush out the medicine, but since it takes 3 to 6 weeks to start to feel 'better' on most antidepressants, you'll have to expect that long time again to clear out your body. Herbals can be dangerous, so keep in touch with your doctor.

Answer 3

Yes I think that's part of it. It's good to get off Paxil as it's bad news and should be taken off the market completely.

Answer 4

If you're weaning yourself, make sure your doctor knows. There could be an unknown health risk assiciated with it, and he or she needs to be sure you need to be off the medication. Your doctor knows if/when Paxil will be taken off the market, and will change your medication accordingly. Never go off your meds without your doctor approval.

Answer 5

I had to ween myself off Lexapro and the same thing happened to me. So it is normal. We need to pat ourselves on the back for getting off these meds, cause it's not a easy thing!

Answer 6

these are common side effects ...sort of like weaning yourself off caffine...this does occur... make sure you gradually are weaned off
