In reply to American Journal of Psychiatry: Paxil not an SSRI, posted by Shawn. T. on October 15, 2002, at 16:18:07
Now I get it!
Well I'm kidding (halfway) - but I did notice two things (not counting sedation / apathy / sleepiness) - with Paxil that resembled Effexor to me. One was a deeper voice - the other was a this effect where my "manhood" did not express itself so fully.
The other antidpepressant which I noticed *really* put the skinny on my manhood was "reboxetine" - the pure NA drug - apparently a common side effect.
Hmm.
I will continue to stay with the MAOI's and Klonopin for now....
PS
So what is deal with Lexapro - have not read about it - is this drug like Serzone or like Celexa.
PPS the new prozac is more prozac per capsule.Chad/Kregpark/ActionJackson/Rick1001/Ray etal etal
> I really can't express how much of a shame this situation is. I believe that most people on this board would accept that the withdrawal effects of the SSRI+noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor Effexor are more severe than those of the SSRI's. An obvious conclusion is that the effects on noradrenaline cause the problem. Based on this logic, Paxil is more addictive than the other SSRI's. In fact, Paxil is not a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor according to a recent article in the American Journal of Psychiatry. In vivo, Paxil inhibits noradrenaline reuptake by approximately 27%. So the next time you hear that the "selective" serotonin reuptake inhibitor Paxil isn't addictive, you should thank the FDA for allowing such lies to be spread.
