PAXIL WEANING........ ENDED

Posted on February 22, 2013 at 10:24am 7 Comments 0 Likes

Hi RFR,

Well, my paxil weaning is over. My body doesn't seem to be able to function at a high level with less than 30mgs, which is a small dose. I was hoping to be free of meds but if I can't function on my job and if I'm SNAPPY with my family, what's the point. So for now, its back to 30 mgs a day.

I've had bad panic attacks the last week or so & haven't been able to work. While I'm still highly raw and vegetarian, I don't like feeling this way. It's…

PAXIL WEANING.... CONTINUED

Hi RFR,

I have been at 15mgs now for 3 weeks. My next level will be 13.5mgs which I will start Friday. I haven't been below 15mgs since '97.

I have had NO side effects and have been feeling great ( except when I eat SAD junk food).

I had a totally AWSOME experience last Saturday. I went to North Bay, MD with 80 youth from our church.We did a POLAR BEAR PLUNGE in the Chesapeak bay. It was one of the most exilarating experiences of my 57 yrs!!! …

PAXIL WEANING.... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Posted on January 3, 2013 at 3:17pm 2 Comments 1 Like

Hi RFR,

Happy New Year!!

I am now down to 15mgs a day. The 1st couple of days after reducing, I can be somewhat touchy but for the most part I've been free of the terrible side effects people suffer when they try to reduce or stop an anti-depressant.

Food does make a HUGE difference. If you lay off the excito-toxins in most SAD food, you'll be less anxious. I'm in a great place right now with my food choices. I'm not 100% raw but I am Almost 100%…

PAXIL WEANING -- LAST 4 WEEKS OR SO

Posted on December 19, 2012 at 4:31pm 2 Comments 2 Likes

Hi RFR,

I am continuing to wean from paxil. I'm down to 17.5 mgs. I started at 30 mgs 3 months ago. I have had NO negative side effects to speak of.

Still eating very high raw, about 90%, vegan 99.5%, but I did have veal parm at a Christmas party last Friday.

Today, I started to walk again. I did 1.5 miles. This program suggested that you not exerise unless you already were active but I just can't stand the feeling of my gut being on my lap…

how you think and speak,what you do: what you eat, what you drink, when you move your body, when you sleep, how you will respond to any situation.
