> > I started to take seroxat 3.5 years ago due to anxiety and insomnia. Not long after taking seroxat, I began to feel hard to concentrate , but I carried on because the directions said it woundn't hurt my cognitive ability. About 1.5 years ago, I confirmed that there was something wrong with my memory . My psychiatrist told me that that was a sign of depression and suggested me switch to another SSRI. But soon I realized that it was the SSRIs that made me forgetful, and I went off ALL ADs since then.

> In looking at the drugs involved here, I think that I know what is causing the symptoms that you list. My knowlege of the chemistry of nerve agents developed through the first and second world wars and my study of the neurology of psychotropic drug actions lead me to make it plainly visible to me what has happened to you. You have called it post SSRI side effects, but the nurological symptoms here could come from other neuroleptic chemicals also that have a particular action.
> You see, nerve agents act on the chemicals that cause nerves to act one way or the other and can cause death. Insecticides and roach poison and rat poisons have been developed to kill the pests by the poisons acting on the nerves to stop them from activating the organs or mucles and then cause death by that means. In WWll, (redacted by respondent), on humans.
> Now the actions of psychotropic drugs can cause reactions on the neurons that could cause a mucle to stop contracting or an organ to malfunction in some way. Then symptoms appear as a result of the disturbance that the chemical can cause. Sometimes these symptoms appear after the chemical drug is stopped, hence called withdrawal symptoms. Sometimes these symptoms can appear even while taking the drug and there are reports that the symptoms can surface well after the drug is stopped.
> Now it stands to reason IMHO that if the chemical is continued to be put in a person's nervous system that it is likely that symptoms will surface as time runs and that stopping the drugs could give the person a chance to heal, if possible. But what if the damage can not be healed as it being nerve damage? I mean, can people with dyskinesia have their nervous system restored if the damamge is not reversible?

>Friends,
Now let's look at that Paxil was taken for years. Now Paxil is a piperidine type chemical as being called phenylpiperidine. (I think that Ritilin is methylpiperidine}. The piperidines come from plants such as peppers, poison hemlock, and others and from fire ants. This chemical goes back thousands of years and was used to kill people. Today, chemists synthesize the chemical and combine it with other chemicals and it is marketed as (redacted by respondent).
Now being having the potential to kill the person taking the drug then also has the potential to act upon the nervous system and produce effects of such short of causing death. The question here is not the effects that the drug can produce for those are listed by the innitiator of this thread, but to find {a way out} as the poster asks here for.
I will attempt to show here the organic chemistry of these chemicals and how there could or could not be {a way out}.
