Journals Forum

scotty · 08-19-2009, 10:48 AM

This is a newly created Forum for members to start their own "threads" about their specific progress. This is a trend that we've been seeing that so many seem to want, so here's the space to do it.

Hey, that rocks!

scotty · 08-19-2009, 11:58 AM

LOL! I felt like organizing today!

Mixter · 08-19-2009, 12:03 PM

Thanks, you could move 2 "Effexor HELL" threads - the first when I was in hospital and the other when I taper. Good idea. Like the benzowithdrawal.com it has blogs section but Journals sound much better!

Excellent. I also have my "Lexapro Withdrawal" thread I update monthly. Would you like for me to find the link?

LCrawford67 · 09-16-2009, 03:52 PM

Scotty, I have 3 questions. I'm computer challenged! How do you start a journal? How do you get your signature pic to appear on the forum? Is it normal that every time I try to post a reply I'm asked to log in again? By the way, where is the proper place to ask these questions?

1. Here's an explanation on posting and adding signatures http://www.paxilprogress.org/forums/...cement.php?f=7 You've already started a thread in the General Discussion Forum, there's a Journal Forum as well.
2. If you're trying to post a picture, it cannot be larger than 976.6 KB.
3. If you wait too long to post something, it will time out on you and you'll have to log back in.

If you have questions, directed towards a mod or a specific member, use Private Messges, to do so.

Journaling is why I'm here. My doctor tapered me WAY too fast and I got intolerably physically ill. I decided to take the advice here and reintroduced just enough Paxil to get rid on my symptoms. Now I just need to taper off slowly enough to be successful. Crossing fingers. This forum has really helped me.

I had no idea this drug was so terribly frightening. I'm going to start listening to my body.

The only thing I'm worried about is getting addicted to Prozac. Any advice anyone? I hear Prozac is not as hard to detox from.
