In reply to From Paxil to Celexa, posted by tornado on September 16, 2003, at 23:41:05
My first med to treat my anxiety was Paxil.
I took Paxil for about 5 months.It didn't work so well, so my pdoc prescribed me Celexa. I took it for 4 months.
Now, I tappered off Celexa a few days ago, and started to take Klonopin since two days ago.
If I now think about the moment with those SSRI's I had taken, it was a nightmare. I have no idea what made me keep taking those pills even tho they didn't work, but made me feel sick and tired. Maybe I thought that's normal at that time or it was a process of getting better.
Now with Klonopin, I feel really good. More precisely, I feel sane.
It could be only my preference, but I really hate SSRI's. Even a few days ago I had severe withdrawal symptoms of Celexa...now I think it's getting lessened and lessened.
According to my experience, that diziness and stomach problem are totally caused by the SSRI's you've taken. I have experienced it all.
They are completely gone after stop taking them.
