2+ year update!

[no-fear]

I haven't been on this website for quite a while, but just wanted to do an update.

It has been about 2 years and 4 months since i stopped taking paxil. I can say that things have improved for me, i have no dizziness any more and the brain fog has improved a lot, my energy levels have improved slightly, but still room for a lot of improvement (probably have long term battle fatigue). My eyes are less sensitive to sunlight, computer screens, bright lights etc...

I still have periods of feeling low and there is defo a pattern to that (feel worse during the day, then better at night).

I find the things that have really helped have generally been doing things to take my mind off it, i choose only to come on here for infomation on supplements and not read the other posts because they put worries in my mind.

I defo believe that i will fully recover from this and everyone will in time, just need so much patience. good luck to you all

Congras! I did had the same problems: sensitive eyes, low energy. So I believe it will go away eventually.

BTW, a quick question: I noticed you took Vitamin C, Omega 3 and Cal. Does it really help the withdrawal?

whether it was the omega 3 itself or the placabo effect, i defo felt a lot better in terms of my low mood after upping the dosage. But since then i have improved my diet, started exercising and took better care of myself.

As it stands i take 2000mg omega 3, 200iu vitamin E, 1 cod liver oil capsule, 1 mulivitamin with iron, cup of horlicks before bed, sunflower seeds and 2 bananas a day as well as eating lots of veg and fruit and generally more healthy foods.
