Hi friends. I’ve made the switch from SA

 

Just a quick summary:

Starting in October 2017 I had some difficulty sleeping because of a stressful few months at work. When I went to my Dr for annual physical I mentioned my sleep issue. Thats when it all started. He said take this 30mg diazepam at night and you’ll be good. At the time I didn’t know what it was and took it every night for a month. I no longer had stress at work and wanted to quit the diazepam so Dr said no problem just stop. I quit cold turkey and a week later was hit with suicidal depression, panic attacks, fear, extreme anxiety, insomnia and many more symptoms. I’ve never had any of that and it scared me so my Dr sent me to Psychiatrist. January 2018 I was put on 15mg mirtazapine, 100mg seroquel, 1mg lorazepam. I eventually weened off lorazepam in March 2018. My symptoms persisted over the years and in January 2019 Paxil 20mg was added with the 15mg mirtazapine and 100mg seroquel. In April 2021 Paxil was increased to 30mg along with 15mg mirtazapine and 100mg seroquel. In February 2024 Paxil increased to 40mg along with 15mg mirtazapine and 100mg seroquel. Fast forward to today July 2024 and I’m back in severe wd. I now realize they kept increasing my dose because it would poop out. 

 

After finding SA in July 2024 I began tapering paroxetine using brass monkey method. I shave and weigh pills. I went from 40mg to 16.5mg from July 2024 to July 2025. I ended up crashing hard August 20, 2025 with severe wd symptoms. I updosed to 18.5mg in September 2025 and have been holding since then.

My current situation- I’m still really struggling in a nasty wave. I’m on my sixth month since my severe crash in August 2025. 

Here’s how it’s been since August 2025 crash:

August/September 2025- Horrific suffering. Non functional 

October 2025- Horrific/bad suffering. Half the month Non functional. Half the month able to do some of life’s responsibilities 

November 2025- Decent month. Manageable symptoms. Able to function and deal with life

December 2025- Decent month. Manageable symptoms. Able to function and deal with life.

January 2026- Bad suffering. Barely can function. Life is very difficult. Can do minimum of life responsibilities

Thank you for crossing over and for joining the forum, and for updating your signature.

 

I'm sorry to hear that you're going through a difficult month, I hope that February is more manageable like the months before it were.

 

Do you feel that the difficult months are related to the drops you are making, or that they are just ups and downs in withdrawal? It appears you've been holding through January, is that accurate?

Nothing I say is medical advice, it is simply my opinion. I am an anonymous person on an internet forum with no relevant qualifications other than being badly harmed by a drug. For all you know, I could be an idiot. You are making your own decisions and part of that is deciding how much to listen to my opinion, if at all.

 

Perhaps you should consider this post an artistic work of fiction written for entertainment purposes.

Hey @Willy

Great to see you here 💕

On Paxil since 1995. Seroquel added 2014 after withdrawal crash. History of too-fast tapers/reinstatements.

 

21 April 2025 taper two drugs at once 

Paxil 4% Seroquel 3.5% per month

that ended up being too much and changed to one drug at a time  

13 Jul 2025: 4% Paxil cut

29 Jul 2025: 5% Paxil cut 

6 Aug 2025: began hold

Oct 2025: changed from liquid to powder and accidentally took 10x Seroquel dose for 2 weeks by mistake

23 Oct 2025: returned to liquid with accidental 4.7% Seroquel cut

 Holding both drugs to stablize

Holding at Paxil 8.25 mg / Seroquel 6.5

Paxil taper

@Willy how are you doing? 

Things have settled down for me since I started the new batch/different expiry drugs. I am still fragile, twitching eyes, anxiety, etc but manageable...

I wonder if getting a new prescription would help you as well. Apparently there is a protocol in the States to do this if your drug is suspect.

Thinking about you. ❤️🙏

Hi LIC. Thanks for checking in. The last 3 days things settled a little and was manageable but today I went back downhill. Every time i think things are about to turn I get hit again. I just can’t stabilize and it’s wearing me down. I got a new prescription a week or two ago but no help so far. 
 

I’m happy things are settling for you and hope it continues improving!! Thinking of you too!!

A bit of a relief at least....I just hate how hard the struggle is....

Hopefully you will get a longer reprieve next time.

I’m still struggling terribly. Today is the worst in 4 months. My symptoms are very intense- chemical anxiety, depression, anhedonia, screaming tinnitus, noise sensitivity, dizzy, extremely activated brain like finger in electrical socket and like I’m on crack, pounding and fast heart rate, and many more. I can’t seem to stabilize with this long hold. I’m very worried about poop out now that I’ve held so long. I’m terrified of getting worse if I continue holding and terrified of getting worse if I taper. I don’t know what to do but I can’t handle much more of this. I just wish I wouldn’t wake up so this would all be over.

can’t handle much more of this.

Dear Willy, there is not many options. Hold, which isn't working. Increasing, which seems temporary and counterproductive at this point or decreasing.

If you decrease by a small amount, I think you will quickly know whether this is good or bad. 

What do you think about this? Trying a 2% decrease max.... something like this. 

Did you find out anything about this drug batch/expiry? 

I am here for you. ❤️🙏

I’m considering this. It’s hard to commit because I’m in such bad shape 


Do you think it’s possible I’m still dealing with wd from the crash in August?

It's possible...I know it can take a long time but there was a positive response from the updose so I don't think this should be happening. I would like to see if that batch of pills is involved.

There is a possibility this is a crazy wave....

I mean a wave is all about the body readjusting, which is necessary for healing, and your body needed to do this after the crash. 

I just wish I had a clear answer....❤️🙏

After looking back at my taper I had symptoms stacking for 5-6 months before I crashed. I ignored them because they weren’t terrible. Maybe it’s taking longer to stabilize because of that?

 

I don’t know what to do. I’m thinking about giving it another week. I’m just so terrified of cutting and being wrong about poop out. I wish I had a clear answer too. This is all so overwhelming
