I used to take 37.5mg CR paxil(paroxetine) for 2.5 years. I made a big mistake stopping paxil(paroxetine) cold turkey for 3 days. And now after starting it again im having weird feeling on it like im feeling Flu-like symptoms(very cold), shivering. or maybe its seizure/jerks. But I got this weird feeling only after starting paxil it again. During those 3 days when the med was stopped i was okay. Is it withdrawal symptoms or something else
Its been 3 days on it after stopping, I will give it few more days to see if this weird feeling goes away. I cant explain right now what im feeling. Other meds im on are clozapine and clobazam
I took paliperidone 3mg and I had severe EPS side effect on it(pseudoparkinson). I couldnt talk, move. My whole body was slow in movement, slow walking, slow speaking, my entire body seemed slow in every aspects.
So it turned out paroxetine(paxil) was increasing the blood levels of paliperidone. So we stopped it.
Nah thats the mistake. Pdoc told me to only stop paliperidone and not paxil. My situation was very bad, so my dad who is ignorant about meds told me to stop paroxetine as well. Following my dads advice was a mistake
My psychosis was already fine without paliperidone. I was on clozapine 175mg. Our plan was to reduce clozapine due to worsening anxiety on it and add paliperidone. So paliperidone did not worked out well.
Our previous plan was to add olanzapine and reduce clozapine. I stopped olanzapine within 2 days due to cognitive side effects. I’m thinking about giving it another try cuz i stopped it too soon. Maybe take olanzapine for atleast 10 days and then decide.
