| For the last year i have been on on paxil and then wellbutin for about 3 years. i have gained alot of weight from paxil. it did wonders for me but made me very uncomfortable about myself. i got so frustrated the other day that i flushed all my medication down the toilet and said no more.its been about 5 days and i almost feel as if i don't want to live anymore. Today i went to a wedding and afterwards on the way to the reception had major aggression, dizziness and then just being sad and wanting to cry. my head is just going 240. i feel as if there is no hope. its so hard to explain how sad and depressed i am and how i feel. what do i do? |

| See your doc asap, you can not stop that stuff cold turkey. There are lots of newer meds that may not increase your appettie. I am on cymbalta and lamictal and it's a good combo for me. |

| NEVER quit anti-depressants cold turkey. That is THE worst thing you can do. There are major withdrawal symptoms. You need to talk to your doctor. My doctor put me on step-down schedule of Prozac to get me off Paxil.You obviously need the medications for depression, but you should speak with your doctor about switching to another medication. Sometimes it takes a few tries to get the right medicine for you. Just because they prescribed Paxil or Wellbutrin doesn't mean it's the drug for you. |
