I went from 20 mg of Paxil to 10 mg last
October 2006 but was unable to cut any
lower due to bad withdrawl and constant
crying unfortunatly I had to go back to
work from having the week off.
I have been on 10mg ever since. I have
decided to get off Paxil as I cannot put
up with the weight gain, No emotions and
my sex drive has gotten to the point I
don't even want my husband to touch me at
all.
I asked my doctor for help as if I even
miss one pill by mistake I am filled with
head zaps and dizziness.
What she suggested I do was cut off the
Paxil for three days and start on 150 mg
of Wellbutrin SR for three days and
increase it to 300 mg a day after that.
I was unable to go past the 2 day of no
paxil and the withdrawl kicked in badly so
I called the pharmacist and he said it was
okay to start the WEllbutrin now to help
with the W/D effects. I am now on day 2 of
150mg of Wellbutrin and have been okay but
I am starting to feel agitated and snappy
at people to much and I could just ball my
eyes out!
My question is should I have stayed on the
Paxil for a few more weeks untill my
system is used to the Wellbutrin then stop
it? Also when I move up to the 300 mg of
Wellbutrin do I take both of them in the
morning at the same time as I heard if you
take it to late you will not be able to
sleep?
