Hi folks, first time i looked over this forum in a few years i guess. I've been on Paxil since then and it really helped me change around my life in alot of areas.
The real issue i haven't gotten a hold of is alcohol abuse.
Anyhow, that's not my focus for this post.
I just came off a bender and i never took my paxil meds for a few days while i was drunk, not sure how many. It could be anywhere from 2-4days i never took my medication, i have a very bad memory when i drink.
The last few days i have felt very anxious and unmotivated to do anything - weight train, visit family etc Things i really enjoy doing. I also had a few mild anxiety attacks.
After reading over the Kind Mr. Baxter's stickies on anti-depressants and SSRI's i really hope this is just temporary because it seems Paxil leaves your body rather quickly and i'm sure all the alcohol made it even faster.
I will say i'm better then i was a few days ago and i also stopped using Max effort training - lifting has much weight has you can - which is very CNS intensive and is known to cause depression for a short period of time.
I've read awhile ago Paxil stops working, is this true? Can you have a relapse? Really like to start to feel good again, the best i ever felt honestly in my adult life the last few years.
Thanks,
Brad
