a-HA! What's Wrong with ME!

[skysidhe]

yes sue! People need to be 'weaned'off those things! Go tell them to wean you! Why? what is the reasoning?
The amount of drugs on your list is incredulous!
Could a person even function with that many meds in their system? If so how do they expect your brain to handle the adjustment now?

I am in shock because my son takes/took only two of those you mention AND he has weaned himself off of paxil in a year otherwise he would/has gone ballistic. Paxil is bad drug and you should be weaned off it but to be taken off cold turkey is just cruel.

Im sorry


ps. doncha just hate the fact the doctors throw those anti depressants at a person!What's wrong with feeling anything these days?!

This is correct.

Not the Wellbutrin. If you have a seizure, it's full stop, right now, forever.

Not forever. Just a big assed bump. Well, till the next one. So as long as you don't choke on your own vomit, obstruct your airway with your fat flapper, or break something serious when it happens you should recover... now if you are driving down I-95 at 85mph when it goes down that would be something all together different.

I think you misunderstood. If you have a seizure while on Wellbutrin, you can never take it again.

Ok, I thought you were talking about the well know side effect of sudden withdrawl.

It's actually a rare side effect of withdrawal, more commonly seen in alcohol withdrawal, sometimes benzodiazepines.

Bruce is right, though ... have a seizure on Welbutrin (or it's off-label use cousin Zyban), and you need to discontinue taking it.

I took myself off Paxil (under the generic name of Paroxetine) cold turkey. It wasn't my best decision - I felt terrible coming off it and haven't improved much since

First thing I do when I move is get myself to a new doctor.

Look after yourself Bri - I really don't think you've been yourself on here recently.
