Paroxetine Side Effects, Treatment Options
Paxil
Withdrawal Symptoms
The
majority of people attempting Paxil withdrawal experience antidepressant
withdrawal syndrome. This is also known as Paxil discontinuation syndrome in the
United States. In Europe it is call Paxil withdrawal side effects. The F.D.A.
estimates 10% of those experiencing Paxil withdrawal will go back up on the
Paxil because the withdrawal symptoms are too severe.
The
most common and debilitating Paxil withdrawal side effect is called "brain
zaps." Brain zaps are described by people experiencing it as a; electrical jolt
that tends to run from base of the neck up into their head. Another side effect
that tends to run with brain zaps is a shiver, a feeling as your head is
floating, dizziness, and/or a whirling sensation in the head.
These
symptoms can come in waves or even be persistent.
The
good news; in 2002, our founder, Jim Harper, discovered the correct type of
Omega 3 taken in the right quantity will eliminate these devastating head
symptoms quickly. Usually within a couple of hours.
The
body in a normal state uses the oil from our diet, specifically from omega 3
found in fish, to build and replenish the end point of areas in the brain that
sends and receives electrical signals. We are using easy to understand
terminology here, so it is easy to understand. Let's leave the technical jargon
to physicians. These brain zaps have nothing to do with serotonin levels or
other made-up reasons. It is simple really; our body works in a very natural way
with how it uses amino acids, proteins, fats in food and all other diet items to
maintain a balance. When you introduce any toxin that disrupts these processes
the body reacts. The most common Paxil Paroxetine withdrawal symptoms reported
include:
Flu
like symptoms
Insomnia
Anxiety
Brain
zaps
Tremors
Diarrhea
Vomiting
Increased suicidal ideation
Nausea
Headache
Mania
Hypomania
Ringing in the ears
Aggression
Confusion
Imbalance
Mood
swings
Please
note: These are the most common Paxil withdrawal side effects but far from all
potential Paxil withdrawal side effects.
There
is a warning the FDA has put a black box warning on Paxil. WARNING: SUICIDAL
THOUGHTS AND BEHAVIORS See full prescribing information for complete boxed
warning. Antidepressants increased the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors
in pediatric and young adult patients (5.1) Closely monitor for clinical
worsening and emergence of suicidal thoughts and behaviors
You
may have been prescribed Paxil within a very short doctor visit. There was no
investigation into other life factors, lab testing, or any conversation about
what side effects might present. The failings of this approach may cause quite a
burden on the patient.
Depression, insomnia, anxiety, fibromyalgia, and other symptoms that Paxil is
often prescribed for might stem from; diminished vitamin D levels, over active
JNK gene, specific proteins that need to be silenced, dietary concerns and food
allergies, mitochondrial dysfunction, neurotoxic accumulation, and many other
reasons. A full physical from an understanding physician is ideal, before
prescribing Paxil.
Do
Your Symptoms Require Paxil?
The
Road Back Program uses nutritional supplements to help with the Paxil
withdrawal. Most people feel a very fast relief from the Paxil withdrawal once
they begin taking the supplements and we feel the odds are high; if would have
taken nutritional supplements like these before starting the Paxil you would
have been prescribed the Paxil in the first place.
In
2007, Jim Harper was giving a speech to a group of psychiatrists in Ireland and
during his talk he mentioned his mother just passed away 30 days ago. He went on
to describe how he made sure to take his JNK Formula each day to help the body
cope with the stress being put on it do to his loss. He went on to say, "The JNK
Formula will not remove the emotional loss and how I feel but it will keep the
body strong during my time to grieve.
"How
Do You Survive Paxil Withdrawal?
Surviving Paxil withdrawal depends on what you do at this very moment. If you
keep doing the same thing you have been doing and you are in a heavy Paxil
withdrawal, nothing will change for the positive, That is a given.
If you
decide to do the Paxil withdrawal as an inpatient in a drug rehab center DO NOT
DO THE 9 DAY PLAN BECAUSE THAT WHAT INSURANCE ALLOWS.
Over
the past 22 years I have worked with far to many people who were sold on a rehab
facility, stayed the 9 days because insurance would only pay for that amount of
time. The unscrupulous facility took them off the Paxil in 9 days as they
promised and by the time the person got off the airplane after their return home
they were in full withdrawal. You can't do a Paxil withdrawal in 9 days.
The
Road Back Program can normally help you get back on your feet again but the
rehab facility approach of this type is not worth the price you will pay
mentally and physically.
You
will find a few other outpatient Paxil withdrawal programs on the internet now
and Jim Harper is not aware of one that will cause you harm like the rehab
facilities mentioned. However, every other program on the internet was trained
by Jim Harper years ago and they are doing what Jim Harper and The Road Back did
during that time frame. Almost 2 decades ago Jim Harper trained several
physicians and good intentioned people how to get a patient off Paxil. Jim went
into detail of the process and what nutritional supplements were used and why
they were used. At that time of The Road Back the success rate was not as high
as desired and over the following years Jim changed the formulas used with the
supplements several times to use new information with DNA testing. Long story
short; you will likely wind up using a Paxil withdrawal approach The Road Back
used in 2003, that was scrapped for something more successful. If you are
currently in Paxil withdrawal, send Jim Harper an email and he will personally
guide you through the process so you can get back on your feet quickly and have
a very successful Paxil withdrawal. It does not matter if you have been on Paxil
for 1 month or 20 years. Recovery can happen and the good part is it does not
take more time because you have been taking Paxil for years.
When
Do Paxil Withdrawal Symptoms Start When Discontinuing / Quitting Paxil?
Paxil
withdrawal usually begins between day 1 and day 3 of adjusting the Paxil. For
some people this is not the case but eventually most everyone hits some dosage
of the Paxil when reducing that jars them. Paxil withdrawal begins and they have
no idea what they should do. Their physician does not know what to do. They wind
up in a spiral downward and wind up on a new medication to try and stop the
Paxil withdrawal. The best case is the additional drug does that but you are now
on 2 drugs instead of only Paxil.
What
is Paxil?
This
SSRI drug is prescribed in treating adult depressive disorders (MDD), panic
disorder, obsessive compulsory disorders (OCD), social anxiety (SAD),
post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD), and premenstrual dysphoric disorder
(PMDD). If you have anxiety before taking Paxil, or anxiety begins while taking
Paxil, odds are the anxiety will continue to get worse. Paxil alters dopamine
much like the antidepressant Paxil and anxiety is a byproduct of these two
drugs.
What
Is Paxil Used For?
Paxil
is an antidepressant medication approved to treat adult MDD (major depressive
disorder). The Black Box warning on the drug’s packaging mentions that the drug
should not be prescribed to anyone under the age of 25, due to heightened risk
of suicide. There is an exception to this for patients under the age of 25 who
have been diagnosed with OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder). Potential
suicidality is associated with all Paxil and may be a concern leading to
consider Paxil withdrawal, which is recommended to be done always under medical
or caregiver monitoring.
Adult-only approved uses for the drug provided in a clinical or treatment
setting include: MDD: Major Depressive Disorder
Paxil
Side Effects
The
full list of Paxil side effects is quite staggering. In 2004, Jim Harper used
the Freedom of Information Act to get the full list of Paxil side effects. Jim
received the information and it is 500 sheets of letter size paper, single
space, a number 10 font size, 3 columns per page. In other words, thousands of
known potential Paxil side effects were disclosed. Some of the other Paxil and
Paxil withdrawal side effects: Serotonin syndrome: A life-threatening condition
requiring immediate medical care in a hospital emergency clinic or ICU. Symptoms
to watch for include sudden fever, losing consciousness, inability to move or
speak, copious sweating, dilated pupils, chills, tremors, convulsions, diarrhea,
agitation, restlessness, racing heart, etc. Suicidal thoughts (common) Suicide
attempt (common) Hyperkinesis (muscle spasms, movement disorder) Worsened
depression Aggression Paranoia (rare) Anxiety Mania (common) Convulsions
Unconsciousness Coma Teeth grinding Akathisia (relentless internal restlessness
and discomfort marked by repeated motions, pacing, rocking, etc., that can lead
to suicidal thoughts as a means of relief) Tachycardia (racing heart, even when
the body is at rest) Rash Itching Burning, crawling feeling in the skin Fever
Tics, sudden jerky movements, myoclonus Emotional blunting Behavioral apathy,
SSRI-induced-indifference Pain on urination or difficulty urinating Cloudy urine
Headache Sexual impairments, i.e., anorgasmia, inability to ejaculate, lowered
libido Mood swings Pain around the eyes or eye sockets Sleepiness Bladder pain
Prickling skin sensation Numbness Sensory disturbances Insomnia
Depersonalization (common) Nervousness Nightmares (paranoia) Hostility Nausea
Diarrhea Weight gain Some documented Paxil birth defects and injuries include:
PPHN or persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, a heart and lung
condition which can result in respiratory failure, decreased oxygen to the
brain, and multiple organ injuries. Congenital Heart Defects connected to Paxil
and other SSRIs include ventricular septal defects and atrial septal defects,
also referred to as “holes in the heart”, related to heart murmurs, suppressed
appetite, breathing difficulties, tiredness, inadequate growth, etc. Increased
Risk of Autism has been extensively reported but evidence has not yet been
considered conclusive enough for regulatory bodies to ban prescribing to
pregnant women. Increased Risk of Clubfoot connected to SSRIs during pregnancy
as reported by NIMH, where exposure had the highest increase in clubfoot of all
SSRIs. Increased risk of atrial/ventricular defects and craniosynostosis was
reported in a Canadian study from 1998 to 2010 and published in the June 2015
issue of the American Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics.
Paxil
Withdrawal, What to Expect
If
using The Road Back Program you should expect to feel a lot better within the
first couple days of the program. If you do nothing, expect to continue to feel
as you do now. Possibly worse as time goes on. The chance of feeling better if
you do nothing is nil.
In
1999, The Road Back only had people taper the Paxil gradually and slowly. They
still suffered. Around 50% could get off the Paxil but most went back on the
Paxil because they continual Paxil withdrawal side effects would not diminish or
go away.
We
wish there was a better answer for you than the above but with working with over
19 million people over the last 22 years, the truth is the truth. No way to
water it down to make it sound better.
Some
may think it is just their depression returning but who would not feel depressed
if they were still going through Paxil withdrawal months after stopping the
Paxil. We can't stress enough; what you do or do not do at this moment in time
is critical for your future. Take your time if at all possible. If you have
brain zaps go buy any omega 3 fish oil, even the wrong omega 3 fish oil will
help somewhat. While you read this you may want to pause and go take a walk.
Look at the trees, the sky or anything off in the distance. Getting your
attention off your mind and body may do wonders. Keep this close to your heart;
There is Hope and There is a Solution. We are speaking directly to YOU.A 30-day
supply of the nutritional supplements will cost you around $80. If you feel it
is worth $80 to take a chance that all of this can go away in a couple of days,
then take that chance. Over the past 22 years many have sent an email to Jim
Harper and said they were not sure what to do about the Paxil withdrawal. Even
after reading this information. The people that tried something else generally
came back within a few months and were in worse shape than before. We do not
want this to happen to you. But if is; Jim will still be here to assist.
Can
Paxil Make Depression Worse?
Common
sense answers this question. If depression is one side effect of taking Paxil
then Paxil can cause depression. You do stand a greater chance of Paxil causing
depression during withdrawal than while simply taking the Paxil as prescribed.
The depression during Paxil withdrawal can be due to the other Paxil withdrawal
side effects you are experiencing. Who would not start to get depressed if you
have anxiety from morning to night, can't sleep and your head feels like it is
on fire.
Paxil
Aggression in Children
Children are more prone to aggression when taking Paxil than adults. It occurs
in 10-20% of children taking any SSRI antidepressant. Two clinical trials
performed by Pfizer, aggression was the most common reason noted for Paxil
discontinuation.
Can
You Get Addicted to Paxil?
Yes
and no. This is where Paxil dependence is a matter of wording. Medically
speaking in the United States Paxil is not addicting. In Europe it is viewed as
addicting. The bottom line is; Once you take Paxil for 7 days the Paxil has made
its way through your body. If your body no longer has the Paxil in its system,
your body will react to the Paxil being gone. Much like a person that eats a lot
a sweets every day. Your body will react when the sweet substance is not
present. Call it addicting, as we would, call it a dependence as United States
physicians will, it is what it is. If you do not provide the substance the body
reacts and you also have mental feelings that are not positive. We can get into
the insulin discussion etc, but we are only talking about a substance being
present and then not and the body and mind reacting in a negative manner.
What
is the difference between Paxil and a Benzodiazepine?
Paxil
is an SSRI medication, an antidepressant, used to treat depression and anxiety.
Benzodiazepines are prescribed mainly for the treatment of anxiety and panic
disorders but also prescribed off-label to treat depression.
These
two types drug have different chemical components and were designed to work on
different brain receptors and neurotransmitters, but some of their effects can
be seen to overlap. Benzodiazepines are thought to mainly affect GABA
transmission, which can slow the central nervous system to reduce anxiety, while
Paxil is designed to block the reuptake of serotonin.
Benzodiazepines are known to be more prone to dependence/addiction than Paxil.
While the withdrawal symptoms are similar between both drugs, Paxil’s half-life
is 22-36 hours, and Benzodiazepines half-life is much lower. Benzodiazepines can
have more severe complications if abruptly stopped, including seizures. For safe
Benzodiazepine or Paxil withdrawal, either of these drugs must be slowly tapered
to allow the central nervous system and neurochemistry to safely normalize.
Choosing to withdrawal from the Paxil first or the benzodiazepine first needs to
be evaluated. Use Chapter 23, The Science to decide is part of that equation.
Depending on the benzodiazepine you may be taking with the Paxil, if you reduce
the Paxil first it may make you go into withdrawal on the benzodiazepine, even
if you did not reduce the benzodiazepine. How long does Paxil stay in your
system after the last dosage?
Our
founder, Jim Harper, made great strides with determining this question. Using
his DNA testing company in 2004-2005, Jim conducted hundreds of DNA tests to
determine how fast or slow medications took to metabolize. In roughly 34 percent
of the population the Paxil can take as long as 48 hours to clear the body. In
others, as little as 8 hours can occur for the Paxil to clear the body.
Depending on other habits you may have, Paxil could clear faster or even take
more time than the 48 hours. If you smoke cigarettes and stop smoking while
taking Paxil, the Paxil dosage you are taking will decrease by 15%. On the other
side of this, if you start smoking while taking Paxil, the Paxil dosage will act
as though it is 15% higher than you think it is. This is because cigarettes
induce an enzyme used to metabolize Paxil and anything using that same pathway
will shoot though much faster. Caffeine restricts that same enzyme, so if you
start or stop drinking coffee while taking Paxil you will either go into
withdrawal or feel an overdose, even though you have not changed the Paxil
dosage.
This
is why The Road Back Program wants you to not change smoking habits or caffeine
habits during the Paxil taper.
Can
you overdose on Paxil?
Yes,
it is definitely possible for Paxil poisoning to occur. A substantial Paxil
overdose requires emergency medical intervention to prevent major health
problems. This list of Paxil overdose symptoms would be the same as those Paxil
side effects listed above, but more severe.
According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), the use of intravenous
benzodiazepines is sometimes required during Paxil overdose to prevent seizures.
Extra cooling measures must be used to reduce hyperthermia, always under the
direction of EMT or other medical staff attending to the patient.
Treatment for Paxil Withdrawal Paxil has become one of the most frequently
prescribed antidepressants in the US. Of equal importance is that depressive
disorders have become one of the most frequently diagnosed conditions. These two
facts together underscore two important steps toward improved health:
Providing safe treatment programs for those who have decided on Paxil
withdrawal, and Offering drug-free options to regain natural mental health
without the need for prescription medications.
The
Road Back Program was described by Dr. Hyla Cass M.D. in this way: Here's an
essential handbook on how to safely and more easily wean yourself (under medical
supervision) off the heavily over-prescribed psychotropic medications. I have
used the program with my patients and it works!" Hyla Cass M.D. Author of
