Paxil Hot flash / hot skin?
Posted , 3 users are following.
It was my first time using paxil.. My doc prescribed 20mg twice daily. I took it on Thursday afternoon and 2nd dose at night. Next day I wake up fine but 30 minutes later I get a hot flash. Almost my whole body got hot... My skin feels like it's burning.
It's gotten alittle bit better but it's still their. Has anyone had this problem? How long does it take to go away? My pharmacist said it's too high of a dose and I should start at 10mg

Celexa commonly known as Citalopram is what I am on and have only bee taking 17 days. I do think it is starting to help. I have heard that it makes some people more stressed the first month or two. I am on a very small dose of Ativan that seems to be holding the negative temporary side effects of Celexa at bay.

A GP to psychiatrist .. He took me off Celexa and put me on Mirtazipine and some other med.. I gained 100 pounds in a couple months.. So I was kinda trying to find something that has minimal weight gain. He gave me Paroxetine

I wonder why they didn't give you Celexa again since it worked good for you before.
Ativan is highly additive so I use a very very small amount. .750mg a day. I break the 5mg pills in half and take three half a day. Will then be easier to break from them when celexa kicks in totally. At least that is the plan

I recently had a 90% blockage in my heart and had a Stent put in. So now when I feel something funny I start getting anxious thinking it is my heart again.
