I have been on Paroxetine for nicely above a month now. At 1st I took ten mg each other day, then 10mg each day, and now 20mg every day. The thing is, lately I have been feeling “numb”. Like nothing matters and I do not display a lot emotion..
Sometimes I feel sad or sad FOR an individual for no obvious purpose, when there appears to be nothing at all wrong. It was my birthday nowadays and I didn’t experience that excited or something.. I was place on paroxetine for an anxiousness disorder, not depression.. and the thoughts that brought on my anxiety are still there but not as powerful.. even so I do really feel the unreality type of frequently, but its like I just don’t care about it anymore. Not in a excellent way, also.
I also recognize an odd scent each as soon as in a even though that other men and women don’t smell. It comes and goes in distinct areas.. and that got me worried about acquiring a brain tumor or one thing. I do discover my vision is type of weird following beginning the medication.
Anybody have any assistance or anything to help me out? Thanks a lot.
Oh, and the thoughts that brought on my anxiousness weren’t standard thoughts like driving or flying on a plane.. though I want they have been. They had been scary thoughts about the function of existence, why I am ME, solipsism, items that just usually can’t be answered with details. And that scares the crap out of me when its accompanied with unreality.

Those sound like med side effects. Speak to your medical professional. A psychiatrist would make a lot more sense to see than a gp. They are the psych med authorities, and a lot much more apt to realize the side impact and keep away from prescribing another med that might act similarly for you.

Paroxetine is an antidepressant frequently employed for the remedy of anxiety and depression and a host of other problems. What you must know is that significantly less prevalent side impacts of this drug consist of reduction of empathy, flattening of emotional response and change in sense of taste. This medication might not be for you simply because these particular side effects are unacceptable.
I recommend that you speak with your doc ASAP because I consider you may need a change of medication as these are much less prevalent side effects of the medication and they are unacceptable. There are several other medicines out there that can aid you.everybody responds differently to drugs and you want to uncover the appropriate medication and dose specifically for you. Excellent luck!

Paxil (proxy) is definetly not the drug for you. I realize the variety of thoughts that you have, yeah- these thoughts are a hell of a lot deeper then the regular nervousness. You truly do have to let your doctor know that you are not feeling Far better with this drug. Distinct drugs have a diverse effect on diverse chemicals in your brain………doctors tell you that it can take up to 6 weeks to feel the effect. Even with that, you really should really feel a little greater. Zoloft would seem to have a greater effect on feelings. You can truly truly feel stuff ie. sad, anger………but it really is not so magnified…..you truly feel it on a typical degree.
I did want to inquire you about the funny smell you’ve been noticing. No you never have a tumor………does it smell like ammonia?
very good luck…..as prolonged as you talk to your medical doctor you are going to be fine.
