Yesterday I had to go to the doctor to get something for my diarrhea… After taking the medicine the doctor prescribe me; today I felt a bit better. So, tomorrow I will go to work again .

I’m still taking 7.5 mg (10mg one day, 5 mg the other day). for a month… I don’t want to think what side effects I will have when I go down to 5mg!

Today I had to call in sick for work, because of the diarrhea and the stomach ache… those are side effect I’m having at the moment.

I look in my medicine cabinet and found some drugs for diarrhea, they are bacterias that help the intestines with the digestion. I have to take that medicine every 12 hours. lets see if I feel better.

I really don’t want to go to a doctor just for a stomach ache.

I started taking 10mg one day and 5mg the other day, since last Tuesday 21 April. At the beginning I didn’t have any side effect, I was happy! but starting on Saturday I started to have nausea… I guess my body just find out I was lowering the dose.

I still have some nausea, and headache.

It’s not so bad though… I have to keep this dose for a month.

wish me luck

Today I’m starting a long journey. Getting off Paxil.

After founding a Psychiatry who was willing to help me to get off Paxil, my life have change; and today, I’m finally ready to start with this journey, which might take 3 months if everything goes as plan. My doctor thinks it could be good for me to take the following doses: 10mg one day, 5 mg, the next day for a months; then 5 mg for the next month; 5mg one day , the next day nothing, and keep that for a month; and for the last month I should be Paxil free

I’ve been on Paxil for a year an half. And I’m not going to lie, they worked at the beginning for 6 months maybe… after that they stop working. I think is about time for me to get off this drug before is too late.

As any battle, I’m preparing myself for all the possibles symptoms I might have, and during my research on the Internet I found this Great side. Quitpaxil.com where I got tips for the widtraw effects. for example: drinking a lot of water, doing a lot exercise to relieve some of the happy hormones, and for the nausas and dizziness “Dramamine”, etc.

starting from Today I will make an entry regarding paxil at least twice a week.
