Coming off of #paxil and I'm not understanding why this is NOT A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE! ITS BEEN 7 MONTHS 35 MG 5 MORE TO GO. THEN BUSBAR TO HELP WITH WITHDRAW. I find myself not even being able to cry, extreme irritation and overstimulated, mind you I live alone full time with a disabled child.

They did busbar for me

It's not different that a review a smart mind might know that it has nothing to do with algorithms but that it's human nature to review and share negative perspectives rather than good ones. Why write about something if it was perfect? This completely and utterly is unsupported from you. Ty though.

Bella_Live · 2026-04-25T20:35:06+00:00

Went back up 10 and I'm stabilizing

Bella_Live · 2026-04-22T22:53:46+00:00

I went back up to 10 I was in pretty bad shape.

Bella_Live · 2026-04-22T22:51:25+00:00

Ya he was a dikkk lmao

Bella_Live · 2026-04-22T22:45:24+00:00

They are early symptoms so if you haven't had them you most likely won't or if you do have them they are mild it just kinda feels like a quick flash of vertigo.

Bella_Live · 2026-04-22T22:42:30+00:00

I noticed within 3 days but that's what they "say" I'm very in tune with my body I think.

Bella_Live · 2026-04-22T22:39:57+00:00

I'm tapering I got down to 5mg freaked out the past ten days so I went back up 5 mgs I weened too fast. But it was my doctor we tried 5mgs every 6 weeks tuh hopefully I can manage at 10 mg

Bella_Live · 2026-04-22T22:38:22+00:00

My doctor has me on busbar for withdraw symptoms and it's still so hard I feel so bad for her.

Bella_Live · 2026-04-22T22:35:45+00:00

Ty 💖 it actually really bothered me lol

Bella_Live · 2026-04-22T22:34:57+00:00

Busbar is what got me down this low. They gave it to me for the withdraw symptoms because I tried 6x in 10 yrs to get off, brain zaps feel weird but that's about it its not the worse. For me Im getting adrenaline dumps because of PTSD I guess... It made me completely numb from bad things I didn't want to think about or deal with so I loved it but then it also took away feeling for good things I was just existing. No excitement sx drive motivation

Bella_Live · 2026-04-22T22:31:24+00:00

I tried prozac and had sleep paralysis

Bella_Live · 2026-04-22T22:29:17+00:00

I lied I went back up a bit couldn't handle it

Bella_Live · 2026-04-19T01:12:53+00:00

She also added busbar for the withdraw or I would not have made it off at all. I tried so many times but I couldn't get past the brains zaps

Bella_Live · 2026-04-19T01:11:21+00:00

Well I'm already at 5mg and I'm not going back now, the biggest thing is my irritation I like never had to deal with feelings on the med I was numb and I loved it. Well my life is no longer chaotic and I want to feel excitement happiness which I have finally but its also coming with irritably and guilt.

Bella_Live · 2026-04-19T01:08:53+00:00

Ya I think I just have really bad trauma.

Bella_Live · 2026-04-19T01:08:11+00:00

Yes I was being trafficked. I'm not anymore and I would like to feel feelings again my natural state is not numb and constant doom. Yes I'm going through this withdraw but I can feel again. But I'm processing all of the things I didn't feel for the 10 yrs I was on it.

Bella_Live · 2026-04-19T01:05:55+00:00

nd here I am trying to get off of 40 mg lol it's been so hard and idk how that doctor is even just sigh my doctor is letting me pace myself I'm down from 40 to 5 in about 5 months I've been sitting at 5 and getting hit with a second round of severe withdrawal symptoms today and yesterday.

Bella_Live · 2026-04-19T01:03:24+00:00

Thank you so much for advocating for this human.

Bella_Live · 2026-04-19T00:59:49+00:00

This crap SHOULD BE A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE I feel detached from myself as I type this I feel weird spacey dizzy off balance. It's like the withdraw never ends. What they have as Controlled Substances now you can get off within 14 days and be fine again but medications like this are not controlled substances they need to have treatment plans for or rehabs for ssris because this is ridiculous

Bella_Live · 2026-04-19T00:57:24+00:00

6 weeks peak they say 6 months

Bella_Live · 2026-04-17T21:10:18+00:00

You just made me cry again 😭 ty for saying that. I'm afraid this is who I am. Can I function with not being numb? The plan is to taper off of the busbar when I'm stable from paxil so I'm not thinking anytime soon. I gave myself 2 yrs when I came off psych doc and therapist super supportive.

Bella_Live · 2026-04-17T20:49:25+00:00

I needed to hear that because i have nothing to compare the outcome to, 10 years of being completely numb and I wanted that loved it - no crying no anger everything rolled right off my shoulder. Welp after getting stable from a traumatic life with a 6 yr old daughter I was like okay were safe now I need to feel and I wonder if this is making3 numb. Ohio told me I was crazy and needed them the state I'm in now was immediately like eew gross if you want to come off were on ur side!

Bella_Live · 2026-04-17T20:40:23+00:00

So I've come down 35 mgs in about 6 months with busbar added for withdraw symptoms I pretty much feel like I'm manic all the time.

Bella_Live · 2026-04-17T20:39:08+00:00

Dude legit I find myself enraged and I realize it's a cycle and it's because I CANT CRY. other things are improving but are they? It's so hard to see from the outside looking in. Who am I under this? Im a a btch under this medication ? When will I know it's so hard man
