Re: Going off PAXIL/Seroxat

[Guest guest]

Dear RLS family,

I am on day 12 of no Paxil (dr. cold-turkeyed me instead of titrating down -

I have no idea why.) It has been a VERY difficult transition to SERZONE.

I feel like I have maximum PMS every day.

I wasn't sure about the Paxil causing RLS, but just wanted to switch my SSRI

anyway.

My point: make sure YOUR doctor slowly weans you from PAXIL.

I'm like a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown, if you saw the movie!

Colette, 52, RLS & Fibro, most days with migraines - I'm sick of it!!! ha!

ps I was on Stadol for migraines, and it has such a 'bad reputation " - ha!

I never had problems with IT as I've had going off Paxil...

The Stadol opiate nasal spray for migraines really helped with my RLS,

although I started relying on it for energy - like getting myself to the

grocery

store, etc., and knew that was the wrong road to take.
