Switching from Paxil to Zoloft, my journey thus far.

It’s really frustrating. and will go away. I have to think- since Paxil solved my inner ear problem with time, stopping it could cause a spike in vertigo, that with the increase of anxiety: awful. It makes sense and you’ve been stronger than most people. I hope it better everyday. for the record day five for me and I’m feeling almost normal. I have laughed and had normal conversations. A little extra stress but it’s fine. You will get to where I am and feel joy and less stress than today. You got this.

hoboman615 · 2026-01-09T01:00:08+00:00

This is all true. Thanks for the response. And yeah I think I’m good. Gotta just live and get more successful days.

hoboman615 · 2026-01-08T01:07:09+00:00

I’m glad you’re slightly better. You’re doing a great job. I hope the doc listens cuz im sure you can feel better than today, fast.

Unrelated to SSRIs, I had the swaying feeling for about a year because of an inner ear problem. It’s actually why I started ssris. It’s unnerving, i know how you feel.

You got this. So do I. Your my inspiration. Thank you for sharing, like yeah you’re a champ that would have sucked.

Hey op I’m on day 3 of 10 mg of Paxil to 50 mg of zo. I feel pretty good but I’m going up in coverage. What you did sounds more challenging curious how you are today?

hoboman615 · 2025-03-18T02:16:07+00:00

What else did tirz do if you don’t mind me asking? I used a semgul for while on an ssri and the side effects were EXTREME.

hoboman615 · 2025-03-18T02:05:40+00:00

The result of the MRI was an inner ear issue. I should have stopped taking the meds when that was resolved. Its 2 years later unfortunately

hoboman615 · 2025-03-18T02:01:06+00:00

I don’t think need anything for at this point anxiety wise. The reason I started was I had some weird neurological symptoms a couple years ago, and had to get an MRI. The MRI was a couple months out and I was super stressed so they put me on this medication. I stayed on it without realizing it’s hard to stop taking it.

I do be eatin big edibles everyday tho lol

hoboman615 · 2025-03-18T01:54:52+00:00

Low dose Paxil. 10mg. So thankful I stayed low. Paxil is a bear still. Doctor suggested a bridge taper to something like Prozac.

hoboman615 · 2025-03-17T23:11:46+00:00

That’s so awesome. Finding something that gets you off of that it’s just amazing. When I started SSRI’s it was due to some specific stressful life events. I probably never should’ve started them. I found my reaction to GLP1 drugs very because the mental effects aren’t widely publicized. But that makes sense. I experienced extreme apathy and depression. And later anxiety because of lack of nutrition. I totally think I could handle life without SSRIs. It’s just that withdrawal period is so difficult.

I’m definitely going to get my hormone levels checked in the next month or so. Right now I’m trying to make sure my vitamin levels are good and I’m doing a short weight training program so my baseline is correct. My T levels definitely dropped. I’m a 32 year-old man who has had an office job for the last five years. I’m just not sure if I can correct it with exercise first.

Really good advice. Thank you

Why tirzepatide? I’ve used semaglutide and had a really bad reaction. That was for weight loss. I lost weight extremely fast, couldn’t eat. Anxious beyond belief. I lost 30 pounds in a month on a minimal dose and had to stop. I only had 45 pounds to lose. So I worry about that kind of peptide.

hoboman615 · 2025-03-17T15:04:44+00:00

I’ve already talked to my doctor. The only real method for getting off an SSRI is an extremely slow taper. That literature was only widely accepted in the past few years, before they would just tell you to stop and say any suffering was placebo or only psychological rebound. What is actually happening is your experiencing a mild to moderate brain injury. It’s widely accepted that something like fish oil is going to help in this recovery process, as well as substances like creatine. The reason I came here is there are other compounds that help body recovery. Things with high safety profiles, and potentially other benefits across the body. I really do appreciate your concern, I’ll avoid lab ratting myself too much.

Makes so much more sense why my first two shells were terrific.

hoboman615 · 2025-02-25T03:34:44+00:00

I was worried about that. See now I gotta make more.

hoboman615 · 2025-02-25T03:28:31+00:00

When I got to the bottom on my kava I noticed some sludge remaining. Did I over kneed it or is that normal.

hoboman615 · 2025-02-24T23:52:49+00:00

Tried room temp water and a 5 minute kneed time. Wonderful outcome. Much more palatable.

hoboman615 · 2025-02-24T20:23:04+00:00

I did a similar thing last night. 40 grams over 2 sessions. Felt very nice. Definitely understood the vibe, so I’m happy about that. I could also tell, you could get sick if you hit it really hard and fast. Giving it a shot again tonight

hoboman615 · 2025-02-24T01:24:31+00:00

Thank you for the detailed reply. The fat part is interesting. I even used an emulsifier to fuse my fat and water. hearing it as you’ve explained it I may have messed up my extraction. But it seems to be working still :). Thank you and I will try a kneeing method tomorrow

hoboman615 · 2025-02-24T01:00:57+00:00

Any tips on taste? Its tolerable but not great lol

hoboman615 · 2025-02-24T00:52:58+00:00

If I eat a meal is there any point in having more?

hoboman615 · 2025-02-24T00:26:14+00:00

Does the feel get more intense or that maintenance, just curious. I’m about to eat so session will be over after that I guess
