> I still have this weird feeling in the middle of my forehead -- and I've been off it over a year now. I can't explain it -- but it's like my body is "craving" the drug. Maybe I've changed my neurotransmittors permanently!
>I'm having the same problem with Paxil... I've been on for 11 years. Trying to get off it by going on Remeron and titrating down on the Paxil once Remeron reaches steady state. I get the same exact feeling that you do, however. I still have to give myself 2.5mg of Paxil every couple of days because my brain feels like it's lacking something.... this aside from the ocassional vertigo.
> Please think carefully before you take serotonin enhancing drugs. The mfr's don't even understand exactly what they do to your brain! Are we permanently rewiring ourselves??!!
