In reply to should i fear seroxat?, posted by MrBrice on April 20, 2006, at 16:00:13
i dont know about brain damage, but paxil/seroxat can cause some pretty hardcore withdrawal. All antidepressants have side effects, and the SSRIs have several unique to them. If **YOU** decide that the risks of an SSRI are worth taking for any benefit you might get, then take it (really, I think only YOU can make this determination). What might help is going for an SSRI with a longer half-life--zoloft, prozac, etc. will all last longer, and therefore have less severe withdrawal effects (although there may still be withdrawal). Good lucK!
