| long term use of ssri
Does anyone know the long term side effects of SSRI's, if they cause brain damage,liver problems, ect? I'm worried because I have been on 20mg of paxil now, going on 5 yrs and am starting to get worried that I need to come off of it because I keep thinking that it is doing damage to my body and mind. I know trying to quit, the withdrawals would probably be hell and that's one of the reasons I am still on it, because I' am afraid of what going through the withdrawals would be like. The paxil was used to curb my anxiety,and it worked, but now it is causing my anxiety, worrying all the time that I have been taking it to long and it is hurting my body. Also here lately I have been getting dizzy spells and nausea and i do not know if it is my anxiety causing it or from taking paxil sooo long. So does anyone have any answers, or can share some insight on the long term usage of SSRI's? Your reply's would be greatly apppreciated
