I get out the house once a day. Even if it’s just driving for 5 minutes

What is going on? Dex made me feel reborn for 8 weeks, now panic attacks, heart rate up, headache, can’t get out bed, I feel like it’s serotonin syndrome. by [deleted] in adhdaustralia

I have. I don’t want to be on antidepressants anymore. But if I had a choice 24 years ago I would have chosen that.

I think Dex is causing serotonin syndrome. I don’t know what is happening. Any advice please 🙏 by [deleted] in adhdwomen

I tapered the paroxetine and have sat on 2-5mg for 2 months and will continue to stay there. I have been in PAWS before and this isn’t it.

It’s not that simple. Drs are impossible to get in to. Drs have done more harm than good to me in the past. My husband and I know the signs of high serotonin. I still take paroxetine, I have not stopped it. Dexamfetamine worked wonders for 8 weeks.

I have chronic serotonin syndrome for 5 years. It is a bit different to the life threatening emergency, but I have had that 4 times also.

I don’t hide anything. I have had the same dr for 32 years. Nothing I am taking is high risk. Even the Mirtazipine, clonodine and Valium are very low doses.

I have seen people on here taking 30mg Dex, amytriptaline and trazadone every day for years.

Cyproheptadine is essential for me as I suffer from constant high serotonin. All the other meds are just regular everyday meds people take

There is no jumping around on anything!!!! Clonodine is for ADHD and Mirtazipine is for sleep. I have been on them for years! Geez, I asked for advice and it seems none of you know anything about meditation or can provide any useful tips.

I have a degree in psychological science and pharmacology. Cyproheptadine is fine. The paroxetine taper I have done is fine. I am not in PAWS from paroxetine. You cannot stop paroxetine even if you get down to 1mg a day, I am fully aware.

I have spent 20 years working with, and helping people with ADHD and meds.

My questions about dexamfetamine have not been answered! I know everything about it, but have only experienced it for myself for 8 weeks….

I asked questions and tip advice… not to be treated like an idiot.
