In reply to YAY! I'm going back on Paxil (Chloe - pls. read) !, posted by Janelle on October 8, 2001, at 23:10:18
> Well, I got a hold of my pdoc, told her how after about three weeks off an SSRI a-d, I have been spiraling downhill (my symptoms are all over the map), and she agreed with my assessment that I need to AUGMENT the Lamictal by going back on Paxil.
Janelle,
This is great news. I hope that going back on Paxil with your other meds, it the "magic bullet" for you. I know when I went of my Celexa for a week, I was just feeling awful. When I restarted it, I had an almost immediate remission of my depression! I felt a little racy, infact, but it only lasted a day. Now I am fine and basically stabile on Lithium, Neurontin and a splash of Celexa. One thing though, I was on two milligrams of the Celexa pre-Lithium, so you may find you don't need as much Paxil to get the same effect.>how on earth do you get it down to 1mg?!!
I can get the dose so low, because Celexa comes in a liquid form. And from what Mitch has told me, so does Paxil. So if you need to tinker around with micro doses like I have to, you can get the liquid Paxil.
I hope this goes well, and I am so glad you have a good working relationship with you pdoc. He/She seems very willing to work with you, and that is so important.
Keep up posted :)
Chloe
