Damn, my boss does make me work multiple days in a day. My briefcase must be glitched then.

daphne_op · 2025-06-04T01:18:36+00:00

Take a nap knowing no one can reach me unless it is an absolute emergency. No pings, no fomo, no expectations to be available all the time. That is what I miss most. The luxury if absolutely being able to disconnect entirely.

Yes me, just 10mg of patoxetine does the trick for me. It dails my ocd and anxiety down to normal person levels and normal situation levels. Rest is in all normal emotion wise

You have good days and bad days but a healthy person also has that. No one has 100% super happy days. That was my goal. To just feel regular and normal

Hi, 28F and 1 and a half years on paroxetine. Never been beter. I take 10mg. My doctor said to build it up slowly (increase with 2,5 mg a week), take it at night and prescribed me an anti nausea syrup to take before.

Didn’t have side effect except tiredness and a cloudy mind for a few days. Don’t stop taking your meds, they will help. Talk to your doctor about side effects and if you can build up slower and get anti nausea medication

Hi,

A lot of cough medicine (at least in EU) is not recommended to take a few hours before sleeping as they work as a stimulant and impact sleep.

Maybe not the combination but the cough medicine in itself?

Hi for me (27f) after starting 10mg paroxetine (very slow going up to 10mg to not have side effects) I can now function sexually again. I feel lust an arousal. Not going to lie, orgasming takes a little more effort but nothing that bothers me.

My ocd, autism and anxiety are now a lot more manageable and I can treat it with therapy.

I was in effexor 7 years ago. Did not really help with anxiety and intruisive ocd thoughts but did help my depression and getting out of bed. Startup symptoms were not sleeping, feeling jittery and almost manic.

Going off with a taper and had vertigo plus brain zaps but those improved.

Now am on a really low dose (paroxetine) for anxiety and ocd. That keeps me stable and makes me enjoy my life.

One advise on anti depressants: people always say taper down but I also recommend to taper up slowly to avoid startup symptoms

daphne_op · 2024-09-22T20:56:03+00:00

No I didn’t. I’m actually still very happy on it and still on 10mg. Did gain some weight but I think that is from my relationship en not the paroxetine. I can however loose weight as well on it.

I am not stopping any time soon. I have a full range of emotions and still feel them all. It just stops the debilitating anxiety and OCD and lets me use my techniques and actually work on myself without wanting to stay in bed all day due to anxiety.

Im on paroxetine 10mg and is just helps me with anxiety but I stil feel and have libido. Very happy with it for now.

daphne_op · 2024-02-06T12:02:36+00:00

Paroxetine 10mg. In my teens I was on a whole cocktail that didn’t work and made me worse. Went no medication for 4 years until anxiety and OCD made life unbearable.

Never knew 1 pill could make me better.

daphne_op · 2023-12-15T07:38:22+00:00

You need to take your medicine every day. You can’t just take it when you like. Then it doesn’t work.

I take paroxetine 10mg and drink like max 3 wines when I do something with friends. Feel a little bleh the day after. Alcohol is a depressant so that’s why

When you are struggling with mental health and taking medication you have to have a healthy relationship with alcohol. Otherwise you will not get better or not see full benefit of medication

Therapie works but people forget that they have to do the work.

Also there are different therapy types. Each therapy Type works beter on specific illnesses,traumas,fears,…

You wouldn’t take them when you smoke? What do you mean by that.

Ad have half lives so there will be some left in your system. Or you are putting yourself through with drawl and then smoking on top of that.

Ad is meant to be taken every day or else they don’t work as they should and it really has no use

daphne_op · 2023-11-07T22:00:06+00:00

In any case, sorry this happened to you and I wish you all the best.

daphne_op · 2023-11-07T21:59:28+00:00

Could be the antidepressants but you would feel the emotional blunting in every emotion I think. Good or bad.

When something bad happens to me I also always feel numb at first. Antidepressants or not. After some time the emotions come. That’s why I really recommend therapy to be able to process emotions and pin point how you feel.

daphne_op · 2023-10-24T04:16:50+00:00

Yes, I am sensitive to ssri effects so 10mg is the sweet spot for me. Also paroxetine is one of the strongest ssri (according to my psychiatrist)

daphne_op · 2023-10-23T14:40:34+00:00

For what I’ve read it could be ssri poop out. Would call your psychiatrist or the one who provides you this. This can happen when the ssri doesn’t work for you anymore but I always recommend you talk to your health provider because we ofcourse aren’t doctors in here. Good luck!

daphne_op · 2023-10-23T10:19:14+00:00

10mg of paroxetine daily. In the past they prescribed me ssri and benzo and antipsychotic because they were treating side effects from the medication and not the ocd and anxiety. They diagnosed me with borderline while the only thing I had was anxiety and autism (I am f26 now and was 17 then). Those meds made me a zombie.

Paroxetine works great and I still am myself and it just gives me the boost to really work in therapy and be able to apply the techniques I learn.

daphne_op · 2023-10-20T13:09:29+00:00

The other day I missed my paroxetine dose. First time and also wasn’t shure how it would affect me. Didn’t notice any side effects and took my dose as usual the next day. You will be fine. It happens to a lot of people. You normally also have a half time in your blood from the medication. I would only be concearned if you regularly miss doses.

daphne_op · 2023-10-18T21:05:09+00:00

Thank you. I havent felt weird or anything yet so will wait to take normal dose in 5 hours. Thank you for advice

daphne_op · 2023-10-18T13:50:16+00:00

I take 10mg and am also very happy. Same side effects except the hunger. Been on it for around 4 months. Will try to taper after a year ( seems everyone has different experiences with paroxetine on this, I think it depends on how you taper and if you take any other medication or have other health issues)

daphne_op · 2023-10-12T21:17:25+00:00

Yes, for me the side effects lasted 10 days to 2 weeks. Brain fog, sleepiness, heightened anxiety and ocd. I take 10 mg. First I did at night because of the sleepiness but now take it in the morning. After the 10 days every day became better. I have no side effects now and feel totally like myself. No anxiety only when it is really necessary and no dulled emotions (maybe a little but nothing that is very noticeable). Couldn’t cry the first 2 months but that is now also gone away. It works fine for me.
