30 years on Paroxetine. Nearly died after attempting to taper off and still suffering. Trying to raise awareness to help others avoid this horrific journey.

It’s hard to tell. I thought the drug was great initially until decades later when long term side effects started to appear and then of course the withdrawal was and still is horrific. I am now housebound. I just want to make sure if people need to get off after long term use they need to go slow.

Rubbish. Review is based on short term use and withdrawal symptoms are misdiagnosed as relapse… youtu.be/XZlvDG6XkTc?...

Spot on and long term use antidepressant use can cause horrific withdrawals if you need to get off. Go slow and use a hyperbolic taper if you need to get off. youtu.be/XZlvDG6XkTc?...

Unfortunately this is what happened to me after long term use. This drug needs to be hyperbolically tapered to avoid severe withdrawal symptoms.
