I've weaned myself off Paxil/Seroxat, I really don't know what I'm doing any more with medication but I just felt that it wasn't working so to stop taking it and just to take the Zyprexa every 7 days which seems to help.
Anyway, it's been about a month now and I'm waking up in the middle of the night absolutely drenched in sweat, I'm having bizarre, detailed dreams, I feel like I'm dreaming throughout my sleep and I feel deader than dead (even with the Zyprexa) during the day. I feel really really depressed although there is no anxiety.
I'm sort of hoping the anxiety will come back and the deader than dead feeling will go away because at least I felt a bit more alive and the Zyprexa took the anxiety away.
I'm also hoping that if I come off Seroxat for about six months and then start it again six months down the line it might work again. I'm just not sure what to ask my psychiatrist for although I've sort of hit a brick wall with him because I'm not doing what he wants me to do which is take Seroxat and Zyprexa daily.
I really don't know what to tell him when I go to see him, he's not going to be happy if I tell him I've weaned off the Seroxat, am only taking Zyprexa sporadically and have started taking Wellbutrin which I got of the internet. There is a method to my madness there really is but sometimes I forget what it is.
I think I'll tell him that I'm doing as he told me to do, taking the Seroxat and Zyprexa and that although the Zyprexa is helping with the anxiety I don't feel the Seroxat is working anymore and would like to try something else.
Anyone got any suggestions, I'm sick of this. I wish I'd have died five years ago, because most of me did anyway.
