You saved my husbands Life! Thank you ALL

[Twinkle]

Yes, thank you to each one that posts here. I understand how to help my husband better because of your comments, posts, stories. Every time I visit this forum I take away a bit of knowledge to help me understand what it is like to get off Paxil.

Feb 2012 I "helped" my darling husband start a withdrawl from 40mg of Paxil. Unfortunately the book I read had him tapering way to fast. He was having horrific withdrawl pains and anxiety. He even lashed out at me and was sure I was trying to kill him! I had NEVER experienced this behavior from him. In a search I found this forum. I stayed up the entire night reading through so much of what you had written about.

I put his dosage back up to a previous higher dosage. He began to feel a bit better and some of the horrific symptoms went away. I was able through your stories of suffering, understand what he was feeling and experiencing, and made decisions based on what I learned here.

Your pain and suffering and pouring out your thoughts here really do make a difference. My beautiful, creative,artistic, brilliant husband disappeared during the years on Paxil. We started this journey alone, but found your stories to help us not feel alone, and know we are not going insane. We found helpful advice from others that have been "there".

Today for the first time in years....my husband planted flowers. When I look at the flowers I am reminded of each of you and what I have read about your struggles and successes. I see hope in those flowers. Your hope, his hope, my hope. Thank you so very much! Don't give up getting off of your drugs. I see how hard it is, my heart breaks for you. Your input is making a difference in peoples lives.

That is great to hear. I'm hapy for you. My GF went from not wanting to break up, but have space apart and 2 days later broke up with me. I'm thinking her step down is too fast. She went from a first time user of SSRI Celexa at 20mg/day, down to 10mg/day after about 6 months 2-3 weeks ago. I think she is experiencing mood swings. My heart hurts so much and I feel so helpless. Its great to hear a good story on this site.

What a fabulous post. Thank you for writing it. I LOVE the hope in the flowers. Really poetic and hugely heartwarming.

Good luck to you and your husband in his withdrawal. You are very lucky to have found Paxil Progress. They are an amazing bunch of people.
