Discussions that mention paxil

I have been on paxil cr 25 mg for 4 months. In that time the only symptoms to lesson have been head and neck aches. Also in that time I have had some added symptoms like more tingling in the mornings and this wicked chilled spine feeling.

Has anyone heard of paxil causing your backbone to feel like an icesicle. Is this some sort of side effect or are my problems getting worse.

The paxil has not helped my lightheaded/brainfog at all.

Thanks,
Derek

Dear Bothrops,
How about split down the middle with one whole side of your body frozen more like an ice cube not icesidcle. Electric shock down head and spine. Not to many effects that mental drugs can not create or panic can not mimic. Have to learn to feel it, except it and forget it. Stay away from thinking about "What Ifs" concerning having developed some physical illness. What are you taking paxil for since you said it is not helping with lightheaded/brainfog? Post back

Sincerely,

Sickman :)

I was put on paxil for lightheaded/brainfog. full feeling in ears, tingling sensations, hot & cold sensations. All these symptoms are 24/7. The sensations I feel mostly in the mornings but can occur at any time. The doc felt like this was all due to anxiety. If they cant figure what is ailing you then the diagnosis they give you will always be anxiety. Four months on paxil and I pretty much feel the same. As far as staying away from "what ifs" very hard to do if you dont trust your docs. I still to this day, after feeling this way 6mos. 24/7,have not heard of anxiety causing this.

A couple years ago my boss died from a heart attack. He complained to his doctor about chest pains, pain in his left arm and palpatations. His doc ran a few test, could not find a problem, and said it was due to anxiety. I will never forget how relieved he was. 3 days later he was dead. I know alot of this is due to the fact that he was poor and did not have insurance, as I. If you get sick in this country it helps to be rich.

Sickman,
What is your story? what do you suffer from? what do you do to feel better? Do you really think I am suffering from panic. It just does not make since to me that we are the highest evolved beings on this planet yet we can make ourselves sick just from what we think. I dont mind people thinking I am a hypochondriac, I just want to get better. If it is all in my head why hasnt the paxill worked. I have been taking it for four months. I am going to have to go back to work in less then two months because I am getting ready to lose unemployment. I just dont think I can work feeling this way. I tried it once before and had to leave at lunch. The brainfog I have makes me panic around people. I have only had a couple of panic attacks in my life two of them happened while smoking pot. That is how I feel, I feel high. Lightheaded and spaced out all the time, in a dream. If I panic or feel uncomfortable than it changes to dizziness and I will end up with a terrible head and neck ache. I have got two months to get better or I am screwed. Thanks for listening to me whine.

Dear Bothrops,
We may be the highest evolved beings on the planet but we have yet to know enough about the workings of the brain to actually properly diagnose, much less treat mental disorders. My story is that I have had panic disorder for years and more. As far as you worrying about chest pains, etc. in regards to panic disorder. I had center, left side, left shoulder and left arm pains in one episode almost 24/7 for 9 weeks. I have had every test imaginable and it was simply panic. I later, which has nothig to do with your sitiuation took the word of my Doctor to go off a mental medication to fast and became disabled. I now have panic disorder along with a muscular seizure disorder. You have to have the right medication that works for you. Paxil is just one of many and it is apparent that it does nothing for your symptoms. If you are having to leave places of work then that is what you call, "Fight or flight", typical panic symptom. The proper medication for this is more of a benzo, like Klononpin, ativan or xanax. I not trying to push benzos as it seems, its just that they work and I think that srri drugs like paxil work more for depression and are an additive only for true panic disorder. I don't know if you have panic disorder and that is why you need to see the Behavior Health Services and tell them your problems. It just appears to be panic and if you can't keep a job because of it, you probably need a benzo medication and therapy to get past this. If you hit your thumb with a hammer, your brain is what tells you it hurts. Take it from me, the brain can tell you it hurts even if you didn't hit your thumb, it does not require the actual action. It is simply brain tricks that you can not control because your fear is to great to manage it. The proper medications will sedate these tricks. Good luck and try not to be afraid. I know it is easier said then done, but these things are harmless.

Sincerely,

Sickman :)
