Hi all,
It's been awhile since I've been here but I need some help. I've been on paroxetine for like 18 years and well, it's murder to try to come off of as most of you know so I'm interested in ideas to add to the paroxetine. I don't want Nortriptyline because I've used that before but gained a ton of weight.
The last thing I tried doing was a taper of of the paroxetine while starting escitalopram per my doctor's advice. I ditched the idea at some point and don't even really remember exactly why but now I feel worse than before?
I realize some of this is hormonal but something's gotta give.
Thanks for any advice you may have. I haven't kept up with meds and I know a lot of you have!
Thanks in advance!
Laney
Current meds:
10mg. paxil
50mg. nortriptyline
.5mg. clonazepamOf all the meds I've tried, nortriptyline worked the best but I gained 20lbs or so in 9 months.
