Yesterday I started taking only 5mg each day.
The first side effect I felt was an anxiety attack while I was at work! it was a very rare feeling, I felt like something was going to happened, I felt nervous for none reason, my heart was pitting very fast and I couldn’t stay still.
During my lunch it got worse because I was not able to eat. I tried to eat something, but then I felt something on my stomach (the feeling you get before you’re going to vomited) and I decided to stop eating… I was not really hungry after all. But I needed to do something about the anxiety so I thought about going to the pharmacy and ask for a pill for the anxiety (I actually have a prescription my doctor gave me in case I got some side effect like anxiety or insomnia), the pharmacy is a little bit far from my working place, so I had to walk for a while.
The walk helped me to feel better!
I read somewhere, that exercise helps you with the side effect. and I guess it’s right.
When I got to the pharmacy I bought a bottle of water and walk back to my work.(I also call my boyfriend and talked to him during I was walking… talking to him also helped.) I’m trying the best I can, to not take any other medicine unless it’s extremely necessary! and water is suppose to help your body to get itself clean… by taking all the toxin out on the urine.
Just let me tell you, I was not prepare for the side effect I got.
I guess going to 5 mg every day is not going to be easy… but the need to get out of paxil is stronger!
