Research goes a long way as well! Many supplements available to help! If you fall under the category of wanting Kratom for withdrawal help I use KrakenKratom.com. Please consult doctor before jumping on anything as I am not a doctor just trying to help people in similar situations as me.
PLEASE be mega careful with 5 HTP, although it's an OTC drug... 5 HTP allows other drugs to cross the blood brain barrier. This is both good & bad. Thought you should know, just in case.
I've got to thank you for the indica recommendation! Finally hearing it said, the way you did in this video, makes complete sense to me. You see, I was perfectly fine smoking any & all weed, _until_ I had my 1st child. Than, _serious_ full blown panic attacks happened, almost every time. So, I stopped smoking completely, until about 2 years ago? It's legal in my country but the guys at the dispensary here, aren't nearly as educated as the smaller private shops use to be. So, indica it is & will ALWAYS be for me! Thanks again, my new internet stranger friend.👍😁
This was a very deep and emotional video. Thank you for showing this part of you, it shows how much you really care about your viewers and subscribers. ❤️
BIG respect to you for talking about this not only ONCE but TWICE ! Really love your compassion and I think that is why a lot love you as well. I can see you going places man. Thanks for this
The amount of time you put into giving to others either in material items or life saving advice / info is mind blowing. You truly rock dude!
I know right, this guy!
A lot of respect towards you your brave enough to put this video out I support u
means a lot thank you
Self care and self love is the most Inportant
Its great that you're opening up about things like this
Stand up man. Love to you back god bless
all I can say is WOW. Making huge steps and looking incredible!
You’re a brave dude. Thank you for sharing and good luck to you.
thank you!
This is something personal that not a lot of youtubers would share, you however have courage and we support you dude💯
Hello, I saw your vid that Paxil saved ur life.. then I saw this one lol.
I thank you for ur honest review despite feeling weird about doing it in the last vid. I'm sure you've helped more people than you think, which is certainly a win.
I was just prescribed the medication paxil today, and I have mixed feelings.
Other antidepressants in the past have made me sleepy during the most dangerous situations, such as driving. Yet, yesterday, I had a feeling that I hadn't felt in a while, which was a loss of interest in doing things. I knew then i ought to go get help. I feel as though I could relate with you wholeheartedly regarding the other vid you made, and it gave me hope that I could too, someday function which out having the smallest worries. For the longest time, I hadn't realized such a thing was possible. I've been anxious since childhood due to the environment I was forced to live in. Despite my trials, I try to remain as grateful as possible.
This vid made me realize that I don't have to be dependent on this med my entire life. I'm not good at taking meds but this phase is worth it, esp if I can possibly live a normal life weened off it.
I also like the tip you gave on not looking into the negative effects. It is like a placebo effect and I thank you for bringing it to everyone's attention. Not one med will work exactly the same for one person as the next so it is up to us to be optimistic and responsible enough to take our meds on a schedule so that we have accurate results on our individual needs.
Thank you again, and I pray you are doing well in your endeavors. Take care ❤
Bless you for making this🙏
Can’t wait to watch!
Doc just put me on Paxil & gabapentin. Hopefully this works for me. Just got out of rehab for opiates & benzos (klonopin). Ever since I've stopped klonopin, I've had insane panic attacks. I'm praying this works. Also, I'm on 30mg Buspar a day.
The way you communicate is so attractive. You reminded me that I have St. Johns wort and 5htp in my medicine cabinet. I was debating going back on Paxil, but I don’t want to be an inorgasmic zombie. 😂 thank you for sharing 💕
Lol thank you! I fully recommend trying st johns wort natures way off amazon if you have not already. It is used in most studies done online using that exact brand and I swear by it. 5 days later and I feel like I am on antidepressants with no fog + no side effects. Also down 2lbs and loving it!
TheCutestCyborg Paxil doesn’t make u a zombie unless your dose is ridiculously high
@@Rebelz173 I take only 20mg and feel some of the zombie-like effects
St. Johns wort is only beneficial for mild depression. The date of your comment is 3 years ago, so I'd like to ask if that herbal medicine has really helped you or not?
same with me. 1990 first panic/anxiety at the age of 31 from smoking strong Marijuana. i thought I was dying, and that dropping in an elevator feeling did not go away. I stopped smoking pot, and drinking when I went to a rehab in late 1990. Started to develop serious anxiety, and panic disorder. This went on for 7 years, I have dealt with this agoraphobic, flight, or flight anxiety until I went to a psychiatrist, and they prescribed me Paxil 20 mgs. (with Klonapin) The Paxil worked right away for me. Klonapin was stopped after a month .I dropped down to 10 mgs Paxil in 2010,and have been on it since. Gained weight , but put most of it on as muscle caused I worked out with free weights like an animal. I tried getting off of Paxil a few times weaning, but got the Zaps, and they got worse as the dosage decreased. The ZAPS are what made me go back to low dosage paxil. Not to mention that I lost 60% of my Erections, I get half as a hard with a dysfunctional ejaculate currently at 61 years of age. Thanks for the great insight
I feel everything you said, smoked marijuana at 12-15 years old developed anxiety and I abused paxil to get high but once I ran out I would get like convulsions and did not know why, I thought this was caused by my anxiety but Im finding out that it can possibly be zaps? Either way I know I cant live in total insecurity and anxious thoughts no more and being 16 Im finally strong enough to say that I cant handle this pain no more
congrats my guy
This video helped me. Thank you ☺️.
When my anxiety gets bad, I just do push-ups until I get tired, usually 50, it really really does help a lot. I can’t run because I have asthma, but pushups pull ups, sit ups, if your anxiety is at a point where it’s really bad, get up and do as many pushups as you physically can, you will feel a little to a lot better.
doesnt work with panic disorder -_-

@@pedrogarciafigueroa962 Please stop giving unsolicited advice like that unless you are a doctor familiar with his individual case. Thank you.
@@taasch2505 facts. anxiety isnt the same as panic attacks. we’re tryna get our heart rate DOWN not speed it up even more
I bet it does help. Sometimes going for a walk or run helps me. But I can’t do these things when I’m at work and panicking 😭😬
hi there. current cold turkey paxil 8 days. having a horrible time brain zaps are the worst thing bout it, sleeping alot as well with dizziness, vivid nightmares etc, everything you already know and experienced. id like to know how long it took till you saw even small improvements? everything i have read is around that 2 week mark you start to go ok its improving etc.
Bro! My anxiety (generalized anxiety disorder) started exactly like that! 13 years old, smoking (As i live in Holland) such a high THC level weed with a dude i finally came into a heavy conflict with at the bizar highest point of "stonedness" that a undiscribable huge intens fear shot into my brain and that fukker never left!!! Even tho when the problem/conflict was solved pretty soon.... that intense absurd fear stayed! Litterely a constant uncontrolable intens fear 24/7! In my case, them million therapies didnt do shit! Now taking paroxetine forover 10 years (43 yo now) and in my case it is a bloody Saviour! I still can have fear, but logical as it should be... my libido aint touched the slightest bit 🙌🏻🙌🏻 and not any side effects that i can name... 30mg a day, and i'm ready to play! 🤩🙌🏻 massive thanks for your vid man 👊🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻✌🏻🤟🏻
Glad u did what you did for you
Did you experience any emotional blunting on paxil? I feel like it's helping with my depression and anxiety - more just getting rid of all of the noise in my head, but I feel a little lost and disconnected from a part of my brain. Just curious if you experienced that too - I'm only about 7 weeks in and on 10mg
MIND BLOWN
thank you for this video
Mate what’s the best thing you use that stopped yr anxiety and gave u the best results.....if you could plz I’m off paroxtine 2 years now but the social anxiety is creeping back in ...good to see I looking so well ...cheers
Workout man.. to the point of exhaustion. Only focus on positive thoughts. Train your mind to immediately stop bad thoughts or what if thoughts. And last but not least eat well.
It is possible, I had sever anxiety for many years. Not a panic attack every once and awhile, I'm talking 3-5 a day, with a constant, less powerful anxious feeling that would persist all the time. Out of all the meds, for me what I wrote to you. Worked the best. It's a permanent fix, that being said it requires work. All comes down to how bad do you want it. Good luck.
I think St. John's Wort, 5-HTP, L-Tryptophan, Rhodiola Rosea, L-Tyrosine, CBD Oil, SAMe and, yes, also Bupropion (Wellbutrin) which is an actual AD but doesn't have these nasty effects on weight and your sex drive/abilities, are all options that can be tried before taking SSRIs/SNRIs
Do not recommend 5htp, became depressed after taking iy
I was on Paxil 12.5 for a month an it worked well I stopped an when I tell u I felt wayyyy worse I’m back on now 3 days in haven’t had any improvements just yet but I’m hoping so
I am attempting to get off Paxil after being on it for 3 years. I am on 40 mg. Wish me luck, I hope I can get through this. They want to switch me to a lower dosage of Lexapro instead once I wean off.
If you experience brain zaps go ahead and try something listed on the list pinned + Benadryl helps a lot believe it or not. Good luck to you ! :)
the amount of time u do as a youtuber, taking care of casey, handling ur personal life is really inspiring. i stan the right influencer✋❤️
I found this video useful 😊 thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I think Paxil's original formula was discontinued for being too strong. Don't know but GSK stopped their production for some generic company.
Link to your first video when you started it? I’ve recently had my life turn into a nightmare. Have recently gotten panic attacks and diagnosed with anxiety suddenly. I have been prescribed 10 mg of peroxotine but have yet to take it. So terrified of the side effects, most notably the sexual ones. And also the withdrawal. But it’s getting impossible getting through this.
hi, did you finally take paroxetine? Are you ok now?
@@AmirAmir-bd7pn I was on it for two weeks. But I would get an attack as soon as I took one so had to be my own dr and just stopped taking them. This was a while ago now that I stopped. Probably over a year now. And no panic attacks anymore. My life has dramatically improved since these episodes happened. Could’ve been my system was affected by Covid I’m not sure. But I’m good mostly now.
Bad trip same dude. Coming off of paroxetine after 11 months this week..
I know this is late but good luck! Benadryl + your natural choice will go a long ways to subside withdrawal. I have used ashwagandha and st johns wort to full effect!
I smoke weed helps me sleep I take Xanax usually twice 2mg a day I still smoking even though I take xanax. I was just prescribed Paxil 10mg Paxil. Can I smoke weed while taking paxil?
Out of all SSRIs, Paroxetine has the worst effects on weight gain and libido.
I would not recommend anyone to take SSRIs/SNRIs unless the person is already seriously suicidal
I just start to take it 4 days a go went does it take affect
Effect on libido would be gone after some months but weight gain is a big deal
@Silvester Utd. have that happen to u it been 1 month almost sin I I start to take them I I feel normal
@@ahmedirtiza3222 not true
Struggling for years with deppersion and trying to over come it but failed i went to the doc and he prescirbed me this medicine currently i am taking this med paroxetine hcl more then a week now with no sideeffect lets see what happen
I haven't had any problems with weight gain at all.I started taking paroxetine because of recurrent depressive episodes (every 2 weeks, for 2 weeks) in which I would have suicidal thoughts. I was already running every morning, taking several walks per day, eating healthily. I had been doing these natural things every day for years. They're weren't enough. It was getting to the point where I was going to end up homeless because depression wouldn't allow me to look for work. My only side effects have been sexual, which I'm not that bothered about right now either. Often my depression would make my body feel so heavy (55kg 1.70m height) that running was so hard. 55kg hard to move!
How has paxil been
Greetings from Iran. May I know if paroxetine causes you to get constipated? Whenever I tried this medication I had to stop after a couple of days due to severe constipation. Otherwise it is an amazing drug for social anxiety from which I suffer.
My Dr is changing my med from paxil to cymbalta. I start cymbalta tomorrow. Praying HARD 😏
How is Cymbalta now compared to paxil ? i am very curious since i was also looking at this option
Who else sweats worse on paxil than they did before taking it. I take 20mg for about 7 weeks...no more. I'm going to taper off starting at 10mg for a week that's it..done with this stuff.😐
I got on this pill at 21 years old I did not know all this stuff what we should be eating and what supplements we should take I am 46 years old now what I have been trew I will never trust a dr or lawyer’s I don’t want nothing to do with the system
I have the brain zaps too and my depression has also gotten extremely worse. I take Paxil 40mg twice a day and today I haven’t gotten off the couch. Haven’t turned on the lights. Nothing. I’m just numb/empty feeling.
I'm sorry to hear you're feeling this way. Do you feel better? Sending positive thoughts your way
hi, 40mg twice a day is a lot ! i take 30mg and combine it with Benzodiazepine, and still feeling nervous ... i am investing a lot of time in alternatives for Paxil/Seroxat, i read very good reviews on guided Ayahuasca trip, gives people formerly on paxil a complete reset for months and even forever. The only advantage : you can't do it while on paxil because too dangerous apparently ... which leads you to quit paxil : the only way is to cut each 3 weeks 3% of your original dose.
proud guy :)
It’s the D problems for me can’t bust on that crap! I just stopped no tapper no problems..Kratom is a tree leaf and it saved my life!
Weed did the same thing to me one day I woke up smoked and had a massive panic attack for days. And I smoked everyday for 3 years
Im same till i started smoking everyday during the quarantine and now i some everyday with not issue till my manager suddenly call lol
Badalaa at that time im panc i would use ativan thanks god
its literally the worst feeling
For me I’ve been smoking pot for years and it just for me I have a massive panic attack 70% of the time and just keep smoking but I just started Paxil 20mg I’m 21
Did you get better pumps at the gym after lowering/ getting off paxil?
Now that I am taking st johns wort and discontinued the paxil I am able to put more of my all into lifting I feel. Plus I now can notice the pumps because I dont have all this extra fat hiding my muscle haha. Down 2lbs after starting to stop another medicine I tried (cymbalta). Good luck hope this helps!
Creatine helps
Thanks pal
When i took paxil before I felt so shakey and most of the time lose my appetite 🙃
Yeah it made me sweat which is why I started taking it. For panic attacks.
I’m starting paxil at 15 years old does anyone have any things to expect
awesome !!!
Have you tried Wellbutrin?
Dd you develop any PSSD?
Thank you
I’m on 20mg but still have anxiety there and it’s been 10 weeks! Think I need an increase
Take your time. I was on 20 mg for the first few years before I bumped it up to 40 mg.
Been on paxil 20 mg 12 years now and feel like its killing me and made me lose all my hair and destroyed my health
Hello , Am taking paxil 12.5 mg am trying to quite should i cut the pill in half???
My psychiatrist takes lots of money so I stopped going to him
NOOOO dont, you can only cut your original dose by 3% every 3 weeks, if you cut in half you will get terrible side effects
Weed is legal in PA? Wow Rec or med?
I have been on Paxil for 20 years and I have felt just like this for the last decade of it. Sex sucks and I'm constantly eating and have gained another 100 pounds in the 20 years I have been on it. Killed my drive at a young age of 20. Ain't that great! I am now 38 and just now seen this video. Ugh.....so pitiful.
Day 3 on paxil and i aint taking another tablet because they are making me worse ..
Same on my side
So many comments i feel so better i am not alone :)
Okay thanks for the kind informations
Was taking 40mg -finally off Paxil which was the toughest med I ever withdrew from. I literally looked like an addict with my eyes looking sunk in-I gained 40lbs first few months
You should of taken a low dose of Prozac while coming off it. That knocks out the withdrawals
I had no idea I had options
I'm on 10mg paxil and despite working out like crazy I cant lose the weight I've gained! I suffer with horrendous panic attacks and agoraphobia and I'm a single mom so i have to be able to leave the house for work. I'm thinking of trying a different med with less likelyhood of weight gain. Paxil is the worst weight gainer!
can i ask u some questions regarding this medicine?
sara54501 what if anxiety is the only thing i have and they prescribed me Paxil?
@@joserojas2089 My friend, Ashwagandha is a very effective supplement for anxiety, and it's very good for you. If you need something stronger, Kava Kava is good or Phenibut. Kava and Phenibut are to be used with caution and not daily. But they are very effective for anxiety. I'd throw the Paxil in the trash, mate. Honestly.
@@joserojas2089 For that purpose it can help I suppose, just keep your dose low. L-Theanine in my opinion is a must for anxiety and lithium orotate is good for mood swings and anxiety as well. I take 100mg L-Theanine and 5mg Lithium Orotate daily and so far it has helped tremendously.
I fully recommend trying natures way st johns off amazon! I actually just did a whole video on this as I had a slight relapse after like 4th time off paxil. This time around though I feel as though I am my old kid self again. No side effects and have actually lost 2 lbs in the 5 days I have been off. More energy and less depression with no anxiety it seems what so ever. Its almost like it melted away! Using benadryl here and there for brain zaps from the withdrawal. Overall I think st johns will now be my go to thing. Best of luck to you! Bless
Any nausea or stomach issues lack of appetite when getting off paxil
Yes there are quite a few things to look out for. I usually find that keeping up my normal routine + benadryl for brain zaps helps well. Taking st johns wort now and it working out pretty well for me!
How’d you go getting off it completely man? Just about to start my process of tapering myself off 20mg of Paxil
How long you been taking it?
@@ozzy_fromhell I'd say about 4.5 years
Me too. I'm on 20mg. Been taking it for 6 weeks. It makes me sweat and constipates me. I'm definitely done with it.
@@BluBlu111 yeah the night sweats and intense dreams are strong. I'm down to 10mg now which has been hard but hopefully it's easier for you since you've only been on it for a short amount of time
@@danielknowles7131 I'm tapering to 10 mg myself...I sweat in public too...I originally took it hoping that the panicky sweating would stop...come to find out it's a side effect. Hopefully the 10 mg will work.
What about Ltryptophan?
im on 20mg a day for 8 years on paxil want to get off how long did u wean off and how did u do it like i wana go 10mg for like how long ext!
Did you gain weight?
A psychiatrist can help to lower the dosage in a safe way?

Paxil saved my life.
On what dose and what was the side Effects
@@999repliesfrom4 40 mg. The side effects for me is weight gain and sleepiness. Maybe time for me to ween off now.

Iam not gaining any wieght just feeling some gases and all .
In how many days u feel good
Too sedating
@Mārcis Bukovskis actually at start I feel it was working too but I find a bit redness in eyes so I changed to pristiq and it's working fine at 50 mg. It also takes 2 weeks to start working. Firts week 25 mg then onwards 50 mg.

I think it will most definitely help then!
5mg ain’t gonna cut it

Hey man, do you feel super fatigued and sluggish on the Paxil?
@@PoonCooter43 sluggish yes my personal experience it did not help at all, Lexapro was working better for me but I’m going to attempt to get off all meds it’s going to be hard. I’m currently on Paroxetine and I take Hydroxyzine when my anxiety gets out of control

It gave me horrible panic attacks.

paxil killed my emotions.... and made me hypo-manic.
Me too couldn't stand it I would rather just deal with it
Well Paxil seems to be the only thing working for me in terms of anxiety but the weight gain is bs so I quit today. It also does nothing for my anxiety.
You just said it’s the only thing working for your anxiety… which is it? LOL
Kratom is great
Dlpa 3 times a day with a Multyvitamine
bro tf is wrong with your likes ? they go down some how and now it says I didn't like it
I’ve been on so many things I’m starting to give up
I will teach you a trick with anxiety.
When you feel a panic attack coming on. Embrace it. Do not run from it, do not try to fight it. Just embrace the feeling.
So many people take drugs for anxiety. These make anxiety worse, because all they do is mask your symptoms. Yes, it's easier than putting in the work to change your thought process. But it's just a mask. Masks fall off. Masks hide the real beautiful you.
somethings wrong with the likes mate
Psych meds don’t work all that greats. They work with 55% of people and of the 55 half is placebo effect.
Mind over matter my friend
Much easier said than done. Mental Illness can flat out be debilitating.
Gregory Vierra facts! It’s not just a mind over matter thing
