Hey there!  I'm sorry it's not working out for you.  The firstFirst progesterone mc10
First progesterone mc5
First-progesterone vgs 200
First-progesterone vgs 400 time I attempted Lexapro, I took it for exactly 2 weeks.  I saw a new cardiologist that day and she told me to STOP, it wasn't what I needed.  So I did.  Without any problems.  I started it again 3 1/2 weeks later (never went backBack pain - low
Back strain treatment to that doc!!) and took it for nine months.  I would think only three days would be okay.  Call a pharmacist, they are so, so helpful and if you want to call the one I use here, let me know.  He's FANTASTIC!!

Good luck!!

Thanks tanns!

I knew it would be a problem once I started surfing the net that's why I didn't want to initially.   I know that all drugsChemical dependence - resources

Thanks for the advice about the pharmacist.  I didn't even think about it.

It's pizza night, off to Pizza Hut I go........................

Hi Raine,

Sure, it's safeSafe driving for teens
Safe sex to stop taking after three days. BUT, you may want to try it for at least two weeks and see if the side-effect profile improves before assuming that it isn't going to work for you.

I wouldn't read the side effect profile, as before you know it, you'll have every symptom listed!

But at any rate, the answer is YES, it is safeSafe driving for teens
Safe sex to stop. You really should give the drugChemical dependence - resources

Paxil cr doesn't offer instant relief).

You can stop it if you want. I've discontinued it twiceTwice-a-day and the affects weren't lovely (bad dreams and an odd visualVisual acuity test thing like not seeing things when moving my headHead and face reconstruction
Head injury
Head lice
Indications of head injury
Radial head injury quickly) but not bad enought that I wouldn't take it again if I needed to.

I think a lot of the talk about discontinuing SSRI's are from people who have forgotten how bad they felt when the started taking them.

When you start them you get a rush of energy and some odd feelings but they don't affect your depressionAdolescent depression

Stress and anxiety for 2 to 3 weeks at least. So some of these thoughts are possibly coming from that initial rush. My doctor said "box on" when I wanted to stop after a few days (the nauseaHyperemesis gravidarum
Morning sickness
Nausea and vomiting) and it was the best thing.

Calm down.  Even if you take them for a few weeks the withdrawalDelirium tremens affects will be most likely minor.

Hey Ryan,

I know that SSRIs don't provide instant relief but I do not plan on staying on meds for a long time.  That is not the plan anyway.  I would rather not take a med that according to Wikipedia....

What would be a better choice Zoloft, Celexa???

Raine,

I take paxilPaxil
Paxil cr, and have been for 10 years...A long time ago they said it was non-addictive and that there were no virtual side effects....of course a lot has changed and you are definitely right about coming off the meds.  My sister once tried to come off PaxilPaxil
Paxil cr and it was total hell for her...she ended up staying on it...That is one reason why I don't go off...terrified of the side effects.

Since you plan on using meds for a short time, I would also look into different SSRIs and so on.

Let us know how it goes.

The problem with me taking meds is that I suffer from hypchondria.  Hypos are afraid of everything they put in their bodies.  I'll make a committment to take a med but then I'll start thinking, what if it damages my liverAmebic liver abscess
Bile produced in the liver
C-section
Cirrhosis

Delivery presentations
Donor liver attachment
Gallium (ga.) scan
Hepatic hemangioma

Basal cell cancer

Bladder cancer
Breast cancer

Cancer - penis in the long run.  What if, what if.  That's why I just can't seem to stay on any med for a long time.  It's not completely irrational after all.  Most of these SSRIs have only been around for a little more than a decade.  Who really knows what the long term effects are.  (sorry don't mean to scare you)  They are just my fearsFears and phobias.  Anyway, I have an appointment to see my psych today, I'll talk more with him regarding the safetyChild safety seats
Home safety
Safe driving for teens
Safety issues and maybe he can recommend another med with less side effects.  I heard that Celexa has the least amount of side effects and has been around for about 50 years or something.  I was on it a long time ago for a little more than a month. Maybe I should give it another try.  I let you know what my psych says.
