Hi!
I'm new here, and I have been struggling for over 8 years after taking Paxil on and off for 10 years.
One day after starting Paxil after an 8 month hiatus I woke up with all these terrible symptoms.
Irritability
Fatigue
Low libido
Pore concentration
Memory loss
No feeling of joy or pleasure
Vision problems
Depression
And more. I didn't have insurance so I couldn't go to a Dr. Right away. I weened off of Paxil and nothing changed. I started going to doctors about 3 years after all these symptoms started. And he told me I had virtually no testosterone, started on testosterone shots and went to a
Endocrinologist
Psychiatrist
Neurologist
Urologist
They all want to treat the symptoms. I just started to go to UCSD research facility to run MORE tests. This has been going on for 3 years seeing doctors and I'm getting no where. I know that Paxil did this to me. I am permently brain damaged! Some blogs and articles I've read say that after about 3 months to a year your brain comes back to normal. Not me!!! It's been 8 years since I've taken any SSRI's or any drugs for that matter. Is there anyone out there in the same boat? I need help.
