Antidepressant w/drawal symptoms - Depression Medications - The Depression - Story - Medicals

Not a question but a posting to questions that I have read about the same topic. I really felt the need to post this but wasn't able to do a "post". I have just become familiar w/this site, read a lot of questions...wanted to reply. I was on Paxil many years ago (currently on Lexapro)- but when coming off of Paxil (weaned by a psychiatrist by 2mg/week for as many weeks as it took) I did great. But when I tried to quit it on my own, had massive side effects. All of which I read in the current postings...whooshing sounds, severe vertigoBenign positional vertigo
Dizziness
Vertigo
Vertigo-associated disorders, nauseaHyperemesis gravidarum
Morning sickness
Nausea and vomiting. Those to me are to be expected because when you are removing an antidepressant from your system, you are messing with the chemical balance of your brainAmebic brain abscess

Primary brain tumor. Anyway, found a great medicine that helps with all the side effects of w/drawal while you are trying to deal. It is called meclizine hydrochloride (same thing as dramamine). You can buy it at any pharmacy or Wal-Mart. Usually in the 12.5mg dose. I take half of one because it will make you drowsy. Feeling drowsy to me was better than the vertigoBenign positional vertigo

Drug-induced hypertension your entire life because of a chemical imbalance. The biggest thing is to see a psychiatrist for it and discuss in great detail. Best of luck!!!
