Re: Answer for memory fog - Low Acetylcholine?

Touch why are you searching for the answers to everything? It's not going to help you. Withdrawal is what it is. It is better to accept that and get on with your life while minimising the symptoms.

Thanks, but I'll pass on that one. I suggest you do too. No good can come from it.

Re: Answer for memory fog - Low Acetylcholine?

Or: if you"re going to google, maybe google the thing you were prescribed paxil for in the first place, and work on that?

Re: Answer for memory fog - Low Acetylcholine?

Touch, our years of doing this have taught us one thing. Googling symptoms will drive you nuts. You will think you have a brain tumor, adrenal tumor, myasthesia gravis, multiple sclerosis, IBS, pituitary tumors, fibromyalgia and a host of other disease processes.

It kind of like the med student who doesn't get headaches anymore, he gets brain tumors. Breath..this will pass.

This is correct. It can be hard though to not give in and just look for quick fixes. I am still not fully past the "this cannot have happened, there must be an easy way to make it right" phase. I know it just takes time but you get so desperate sometimes that you go looking for any way out no matter how ridiculous it seems.
