I've known people on prozac, that quit cold turkey and had no withdrawal symtoms. I didn't have such luck with paxil,effexor.
Does prozac not have the withdrawal symtoms, is it not as likely to cause these problems?

by Roger Gould, M.D., Apr 23, 2002 12:00AM
Paxil is shorter acting and going cold turkey is almost impossible, whereas prozac is longer lasting, so stopping the oral medication means that you still have a blood level for longer and that gradually diminishes.

To: differences in SSRIs
Paxil is a clone of Prozac but with a shorter half-life.  Prozac leaves the body more slowly than Paxil.  Perhaps this site (social audit site) would help to explain it, its one of many sites but at a quick guess it will probably give you a lead to answering your question fairly quickly :)

http://www.socialaudit.org.uk/4200JOGL.htm#Prozac%20Backlash

There's tons of info on the net (and I mean professional experts' information - the internet harbours both good and bad sites).

There are support boards and info sites specifically with regard to SSRIs generally, some to Prozac, some to Paxil etc.

I have stopped taking 40 mg of Prozac cold turkey and I had no side effects, and I have done that several times over the years.  When I stopped taking Effexor, the side effects felt terrible.  Even tapering it down I still felt the side effects although to a lesser degree.

Hello!  

One of my friends just directed me to this site.  Please read what 7,500 other folks have to say about Prozac:

If you want to join a group who is looking for the truth about all of these drugs in the SSRI class (Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft,  Luvox, Celexa) please go to:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SSRI-Crusaders

We are a small group that is concerned that the whole truth about these drugs is not being given to the public.

Love to all,

Prozac is the easiest SSRI to withdraw from because it has such a long half-life that it slowly leaves your body.  Effexor is the hardest since it has the shortest half-life and one who is trying to taper will go in and out of withdrawal due to this.  Paxil is also very difficult to taper and withdraw from...

Victims File Lawsuit over Severe Withdrawal Reactions from the
Antidepressant, Paxil - First Class Action of its Kind Against an
Antidepressant Maker

Los Angeles, August 24, 2001 - - 35 people who have suffered from severe
withdrawal reactions as a result of taking the antidepressant Paxil, filed a
class action complaint today in California Superior Court, LA County,
against Glaxo Smithkline Corporation (GSK), formerly known as SmithKline
Beecham. This group represents thousands of Paxil users who have allegedly
suffered from withdrawal reactions and dependency/withdrawal syndrome. They
come from all walks of life (e.g., Lt. Col in the U.S. Air Force; former
star athlete; web-designer; children; bank fraud investigator and many more)
and reside throughout the United States. Each has experienced similar
withdrawal reactions and problems such as:

jolting electric "zaps," dizziness, light-headedness, vertigo,
in-coordination, gait disturbances, sweating, extreme nausea, vomiting, high
fever, abdominal discomfort, flu symptoms, anorexia, diarrhea, agitation,
tremulousness, irritability, aggression, sleep disturbance, nightmares,
tremor, confusion, memory and concentration difficulties, lethargy, malaise,
weakness, fatigue, paraesthesias, ataxia, and/or myalgia.

Paxil was introduced into the U.S. market on December 29, 1992, and is a
well known antidepressant medication in the same class as Zoloft and Prozac
(selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or "SSRI's"). Paxil is approved for
marketing in the United States for conditions such as depression, obsessive
compulsive disorder, panic disorder, and "social anxiety disorder."

Complaint Allegations: 1) The complaint alleges Paxil can cause some people
who take it to experience serious and unexpected withdrawal reactions.
Neither the patients nor the physicians expect these withdrawal reactions
because, according to the complaint, the manufacturer has deliberately
failed to warn of their potential occurrence. Both physician and patient
unwittingly commit to Paxil without knowing the drug's addictive traits.
None of the named plaintiffs were ever informed before starting Paxil that
it was addictive, induced dependency, or created withdrawal reactions when
dosage was reduced or terminated.

2) Paxil creates both physical and psychological dependency because GSK has
suppressed the information about the severe withdrawal reactions of its
drug, many patients and their physicians are fooled into thinking that the
withdrawal reactions are caused by another condition (such as relapse), thus
prompting further incorrect and unnecessary medical treatment, including
increased dosages of Paxil.

3) GSK has known for years the distinct characteristics of Paxil which make
it prone to cause withdrawal reactions when discontinued. While the medical
community has acknowledged the potential for all SSRI's to cause
dependency/withdrawal syndrome, Paxil is, by far, the worst. According to
World Health Organization ("WHO") data obtained by the plaintiff class
members, Paxil has the highest incidence rate of withdrawal adverse
experiences of any antidepressant drug in the world. "Even despite our
clients' extreme difficulties caused by this drug, some remain on Paxil
today because they are "hooked" and fear they cannot get off the drug," says
attorney Mary Schiavo.

The complaint charges include fraud and deceit, negligence, strict
liability, breach of warranty and implied warranty which can be seen on the
complaint.

The lawsuit was filed by Karen Barth (in association with Mary Schiavo) of
Baum, Hedlund, Aristei, Guilford & Schiavo in Los Angeles and Donald Farber
of San Rafael, California.

The attorneys have stated, "The scariest part about this is that there are
people out there trying to get off this drug who are experiencing these
horrible withdrawal reactions. They think its because of something wrong
with them, when it's really the Paxil - - and then they take even more and
further exacerbate the problem!"

To: MD and ALL - PAXIL LAWSUIT EXTRACTS:
CALIFORNIAN LAWSUIT re PAXIL can be found here:  

http://www.breggin.com/paxilcomplaint.html

and here are some extracts from it:

22.The "patient years" standard is a sham by anyone's common sense.It works like this.Assume 366 patients are selected at random to test Paxil.Three hundred and sixty five (365) patients take Paxil and suffer horribly the first day--immediately quitting the test.These patients are called, not surprisingly, "losers."The 366th patient, however, tolerates Paxil quite well, and even improves on the drug, staying in one or more trials for a full year.This patient is a "winner" by SKB standards.Like a champion race horse, this "winner" is entered in all the sweepstake trials for Paxil--and these trials are intentionally programmed to be long.Knowing they have a champion race horse, SKB racks up "points."By anyone's common sense standards, 365 failures out of 366 attempts would render the drug a dismal failure.But not so under "patient years."Under patient years, the one Paxil patient who tolerated the drug for one year counts the same as the 365 patients who couldn't tolerate the drug and dropped out the first day.The "score" in this example is "one patient year" for each side.Not surprisingly, the mathematicians who go along with this voodoo math are subordinate to the physicians and clinicians in the corporate chain of command, and the physicians at the top of the FDA chain of command.

23.In Paxil's clinical trials, SKB ultimately achieved positive results--as it were--because of emphasis on "subjective" testing data.Objective data is very scientific.Subjective data is less scientific.The latter requires more stringent controls to be applied scientifically.Subjective data is subject to the biases, opinions, and prejudices of the person(s) collecting the data.SKB’s subjective data to justify Paxil’s approval was obtained both from physicians, principal investigators ("PI") (most of whom were physicians) and from patients.The physicians and PI's were compensated handsomely by SKB for their participation in the trials.On information and belief, plaintiffs allege these individuals were hired only after appropriate screening to ensure they were friendly to the drug industry and SKB.

........28. In the meantime, SKB knew they had to keep a lid on the Yugoslavia trial to avoid detailed scrutiny by the FDA.SKB further knew that government regulators and mental health professionals were aware of the withdrawal issue and would look long and hard at any assertions SKB might claim in this area.SKB further knew that any claim connecting the "relapse" and "withdrawal" issues would be reviewed before the FDA committee that would vote on Paxil.Aware of this dilemma, SKB decided to massage the problem through back channel communications with Thomas Laughren, MD, a high official in the FDA.SKB felt if they could convince Dr. Laughren of the good "relapse" statistics in the Yugoslavia trial, they could avert the hard questioning of the FDA committee members on the withdrawal issue.Having "FDA" on your side before the FDA committee, it was felt, was good politics and a way to subtly shift responsibility for the issue away from SKB.To implement their tactic, SKB emphasized to Dr. Laughren that the Yugoslavia trial protocol was designed to detect relapse.At the same time, SKB told Laughren, they would do their best to detect and report on Paxil's withdrawal issues during Phase II.Given that "withdrawal" at that moment was not a front burner issue, that explanation satisfied the FDA official.


...32.At that juncture, SKB's plan for the committee was proceeding smoothly.The FDA was in their corner, and the FDA staff had told the committee exactly what SKB had hoped they would.Then in the afternoon it was SKB's turn to address the committee.SKB was not content to rest on Dr. Laughren's commentary regarding the Yugoslavia study.SKB boldly went to the next level.SKB asserted to the committee that SKB had studied "whether or not there is a discontinuation syndrome in patients who are abruptly discontinued from Paxil."The SKB representative continued:"To end with a brief discussion of whether or not there is a clear withdrawal syndrome, we have pulled upon the ...(Yugoslavia trial)..."Then, SKB made an outrageous and categorical falsehood.The SKB representative told the committee SKB in the Yugoslavia trial attempted to "systematically assess a discontinuation syndrome."This statement was in direct contradiction of Dr. Laughren's earlier statement in the day that "There was no systematic effort really to look at the withdrawal syndrome."Having refuted the FDA representation that there were no "systematic" tests on Paxil withdrawal, SKB then further claimed the tests were successful in that regard.The SKB representative told the committee they examined the data on the Phase II placebo group and that "few numbers of patients experienced any adverse event after being randomized off...(Paxil)...into the placebo group and the percentages are certainly very small."What SKB failed to add was that no "adverse events" were reported on the placebo group because the eighteen (18) placebo victims' symptoms were reported by SKB to have been "relapse" symptoms.Given the high bar established by SKB for relapse, the 18 placebo victims constituted a staggeringly high 45% of the placebo group.Had a reasonable clinical standard for "relapse" been set, it is quite possible 75% or 90% an or even higher casualty rate would have been recorded.

Lilly's "Prozac" and Pfizer's "Zoloft."In Paxil's first sales flyer, under the headline "Fewer Concerns," SKB boasted of the drug's "Minimal agitation...short half life and no potentially problematic metabolites.”Prozac and Zoloft both have considerably longer half-lives than Paxil; hence SKB uses the distinction to exploit what they view as Paxil’s advantage in that area.

41.Notwithstanding the Yugoslavia trial and the "Group of 108 Complaining Patients' Study," Paxil's short half life should have alerted SKB that Paxil would likely induce physical and psychological dependence, and create withdrawal problems for patients discontinuing or reducing its use.It is established scientific principle that short half-life substances are more likely to cause such dependency and withdrawal problems than substances with a long half-life.But SKB appeared oblivious to such a common scientific fact.SKB was and remains indifferent to Paxil's causal relationship to physical and psychological dependency, addiction, and withdrawal problems for Paxil patients desiring to discontinue or reduce dosage.

42.Paxil's labeling and prescribing information on "drug abuse and dependence" reported above deceived physicians and patients after December 29, 1992, similarly deceived from 1993 to 1999, and similarly deceives today.The deception rests with the fact that Paxil "hooks" many, many patients who have never had a "history of drug abuse."On information and belief, currently thousands of patients throughout the U.S. and hundreds of patients throughout California and Santa Clara County are "hooked" on Paxil because the labeling and prescribing information originated by SKB deceives physicians into believing the drug is not habit forming for most people when in fact it is.When the physicians and patients discover that Paxil does induce dependency, it is too late.Even though daily dosages for these Paxil patients are reduced incrementally from 30 mg or 40 mg down to 5 mg or 10 mg, the patient can go no further and must get his/her daily dosage or suffer major withdrawal symptoms as noted earlier in this complaint.The result of these terrible symptoms is for many patients to go back on Paxil.This terrible plight is no less than drug addiction induced by misleading information promulgated by SKB.


.....44.SKB's continuing sales advertising on print, radio, and TV on Paxil's short "half life" induces both physicians and patients to believe that Paxil has no withdrawal symptoms.In public promotion programs, SKB boasts that Paxil's short half life does not affect the therapeutic process and reduces side effects.The implication is that the short half is all good, and has no down sides.As a result, more and more patients are being prescribed Paxil, and are getting "hooked" on the drug.The physicians are as vulnerable as anyone.They are intellectual leaders in the community, but after they've been duped on such a basic issue and find their patient is "hooked" on Paxil, they remain silent out of embarrassment.They are also fearful of being sued for malpractice for their role; thus they remain silent as a group.

.....49.In addition to literally hundreds and thousands of known Paxil victims on an individual basis, SKB has also known for years that outside clinical studies conducted by prominent scientists have proven that Paxil causes withdrawal problems.

50.In 1993, CSM & MCA published a study indicating there were 78 reports of withdrawal symptoms on Paxil patients, that reactions tended to start 1-4 days after stopping the drug;

51.In 1994, Barr published a study on a 12-week double blind study indicating that several Paxil patients experienced withdrawal symptoms after abrupt discontinuation.It was further documented that in spite of dose tapering over 7-10 days, 3 out of 6 patients experienced withdrawal problems.

52.In 1994, Keithen reported that in spite of gradual dose reductions, 5 of 13 Paxil patients experienced withdrawal problems;

53.In 1994, Ellison reported 5% of SSRI patients reported peculiar and distinctive withdrawal phenomena.Ellison called it a "withdrawal buzz."It was further indicated in this study that SSRI's with longer half-lives would likely produce fewer and milder withdrawal symptoms.

54.In 1995, Block reported severe psychiatric symptoms associated with Paxil withdrawal in two middle-aged men.Neither had previously had a history of major psychiatric disorders.

55.In 1995, Debattista & Schatzberg reported Paxil patients stabilized on low dosages (10 mg daily) were abruptly withdrawn, whereupon the two (2) patients experienced symptoms including severe fatigue, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, headache, tremulousness and malaise.

56.In 1995, Fava & Grandi reported three (3) Paxil cases where depressed patients experienced withdrawal symptoms.

57.In 1995, Frost & Lall reported two (2) Paxil patients suffering withdrawal problems like severe "electric shock" like those cases previously reported by Ellison.

58.In 1995, Koopowitz and Berk reported a Paxil patient suffered severe dizziness and vertigo after abruptly stopping Paxil at 4 months.After four (4) days the patient was able to return to work, but brief episodes of the withdrawal symptoms persisted for one month.In another patient, severe and intolerable akathisia resulted after the patient had been taking Paxil for two (2) months, whereupon a severe withdrawal reaction followed, including vertigo, dizziness, ataxia, nausea, diplopia, heaviness in head, and feelings of dissociation.In a third case, a patient asked to stop medication after 6 months, in which the daily dosage for 20 mg daily.Dosage was then reduced to 10 mg daily for one month, and then to 10 mg on alternate days for two weeks.On alternate non-drug days the patient experienced severe headache, very severe nausea, dizziness and vertigo, dry mouth, and lethargy.The dose was then changed to 5 mg per day, but the patient felt gradual withdrawal prolonged her agony.She therefore stopped abruptly.She experienced two weeks of further withdrawal symptoms, but then fortunately recovered.

59.In 1995, Oerhberg published an article indicating that 19 patients out of 55 in a SKB sponsored study suffered withdrawal symptoms, much higher than the placebo portion of the clinical population.One SKB agent, when noting these statistics, commented that "only" 34.5% (19 of 55) reported withdrawal symptoms, but that such cases were only "of mild or moderate severity."

60.In 1995, Pyke reported a Paxil patient experienced flu like symptoms after discontinuing abruptly.Pyke reported deficiencies in SKB's prescribing information (as herein reported), but SKB did nothing about it.

61.In 1996, Bhuamilk Wildgust reported Paxil patients with learning disabilities were treated for depression either with Paxil (average 30 mg per day) or with Prozac (20 mg per day) on average for months.Withdrawal symptoms of agitation and restlessness were reported in 42% of the Paxil patients, but in no Prozac patients.

62.In 1996 Arya reported withdrawal symptoms in a female Paxil patient who had been treated with 20 mg daily for one year.On discontinuation, she reported headache, extreme tiredness, fatigue, emotional lability, a "floaty feeling" in her head and an inability to concentrate.She restarted Paxil at 10 mg daily and the symptoms disappeared.After one week, dosage was reduced to 5 mg daily for one week, and then Paxil was again stopped.Symptoms of tiredness, fatigue and "floaty feeling" returned and persisted for three days.

63.In 1996, Coupland reported a study involving 158 patients on SSRI's.In addition to Paxil--the SSRI's Prozac, Zoloft, and Luvox were studied.Severe withdrawal symptoms were noted for all.Symtpoms persisted for up to three (3) weeks.Symptoms occurred much more frequently with Paxil and Luvox than with the others.

64.In 1996, Mathew reported from Australia that severe withdrawal symptoms were noted in a study done there.Fifty one (51) different symptoms were observed, including "vivid dreams" and "lowered mood."The most common symptom, "dizziness," was variously described as having a "swimming, spaced-out, drunken or buzzing quality and was markedly exacerbated by movement."

65.In 1996, Pacheco reported five Paxil patients experienced withdrawal problems after treatment of 20 mg daily for 12-14 months, and the problems occurred notwithstanding a conservative tapering regimen.In two (2) of these cases, symptoms demanded urgent treatment.

66.In 1996 Reeves & Pinkofsky reported a 39 year old woman was being treated for depression.She took Paxil at 20 mg daily for one year.One day after abrupt withdrawal, she experienced nausea, hot and cold flashes, headaches, and lightheadedness, plus what she described as electric shocks running through her back and limbs, precipitated by movement.Symptoms worsened markedly over the next two days; electric shock sensations became so severe she began sitting as still as possible.At this point, the patient went to the hospital emergency room; withdrawal symptoms were reversed within three (3) hours of taking 20 mg of Paxil by the mouth.Later, she attempted gradual withdrawal (10 mg daily for one week), but the withdrawal symptoms re-appeared.Symptoms again abated when she resumed Paxil at 10 mg daily.The patient was subsequently withdrawn, with only minor and short lived symptoms, on 10 mg Paxil every other day for ten (10) days.

67.In 1997, nationally prominent psychiatrist Peter R. Breggin, in his "Brain Disabling Treatments in Psychiatry" published by Springer Publishing Co., reported withdrawal problems from Paxil and cited a 1995 Schatzberg report and 1994 Louie, Lannon, & Ajari report as bases for his conclusion.

68.In 1997, Dahl reported a suspected case of Paxil withdrawal in a neonate, following maternal exposure during the last trimester of pregnancy.The newborn initially appeared alert.At 12 hours, however, he was referred for observation of increased respiratory rate, jitteriness, increased muscle tone and tremor.Except for sustained jitteriness, symptoms decreased during the 3rd and 4th days, when close observation ceased.

69.In 1997, Landry and Roy, reported a 30 year old man on Paxil experienced withdrawal symptoms upon stopping Paxil a second time.He had stopped treatment earlier without ill effects, but the second time suffered severe withdrawal problems that lasted two (2) weeks.

70.In 1998, Huffstutler published an article reporting "discontinuation of antidepressant medications has received minimal attention" in the medical literature.

71.In 1998, McDonald reported 26 patients experienced withdrawal problems.These reactions were reported to the Canadian Adverse Drug Reactions Monitoring Programme for the four available SSRI's.Paxil was by far the worst, 17 of the 26 cases.Three (3) of the twenty six (26) cases (drug not specified), resulted in hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization; and in one case, "electric shock like" symptoms (paresthesia) persisted for four (4) years after discontinuation of Paxil.

72.In 1998, Rosenbaum and Fava published evidence about significant withdrawal problems associated with Paxil and Zoloft.

73.In 1999, Breggin again sounded the alarm on Paxil's withdrawal problems, joining with David Cohen in their book "Your Drug May Be Your Problem--How and Why to Stop Taking Psychiatric Medications."

74.In 1999, Bakker, published a letter in Dutch entitled "Severe withdrawal symptoms with fever upon stopping paroxetine...("Paxil" et al)..."

75.In 1999, Peeters & Zandbergen published a case history of a 30 year old man, who was treated for depression, and who experienced "violent withdrawal symptoms with fever upon stopping paroxetine...("Paxil" et al)..."

76.In 2000, "Psychiatry On-Line" reported two (2) patients who all suffered prolonged neurological symptoms for months after stopping Paxil."Mrs. F" continued to suffer from tardive dystonia, 8 months after stopping Paxil, and one (1) year after stopping Paxil, "Mr. B" still suffered intermittent episodes, lasting hours to days at a time, comprising paresthesiae, dizziness, unsteadiness and slurred speech.

77.On August 6, 2000, "Psychiatry Drug Alerts" published by M.J. Powers & Co., reported a controlled study of 107 patients in which Paxil patients suffered serious and many withdrawal problems, as opposed to Prozac and Zoloft patients who suffered little.It was stated "patients withdrawn from ...(Paxil)...reported deterioration in overall functioning and in functioning at work, relationships, and social activities.Patients withdrawn from...(Zoloft)...and...(Prozac)...reported lesser and no impairment, respectively."Powers hit the nail on the head on the seriousness of the "relapse vs withdrawal" issue.Powers added "a previous report has suggested that antidepressant withdrawal syndromes resolve within 1-2 weeks.Recognition and management of discontinuation symptoms is important, because these symptoms could be attributed to a depressive relapse or a physical illness (e.g. influenza) rather than to a specific drug interruption effect and may lead to pre-mature reinstitution of treatment."Whether Powers knew it or not, their study validates plaintiffs' allegations that SKB's Yugoslavia trial lead exactly to SKB's and FDA's wrong conclusions.Instead of providing validation on Paxil's addictive qualities, the Yugoslavia trial was improperly used as a vehicle to convince patients they needed continuous does of Paxil to cope with their depression.This was and is tragic, and must be stopped......


The complete lawsuit is too long to post here, but just as interesting as the above extracts. If you like thrillers full of power, money and corruption, this is a great read for you even if you're NOT on Paxil :)   Paula

GSK - your corruption, duplicity and total lack of concern for human life is appalling. Worse than that of the Tobacco Company.  Worse than that of illegal Drug Dealers.  Worse than Alcohol manufacturers.  BECAUSE YOU maintain that your "mission is improving the quality of human life", here - on your website:

between the financial adverts on your page.

You make it difficult, almost impossible, for honest experts to speak out against you.  You use your money and dishonesty to corrupt wherever you can what were once decent human beings who took the Hippocratic Oath.  You "fund" and "treat" (or should I say Freebie and Bribe?) once ethical people.  You humiliate those who try to bring out the truth.  SHAME ON YOU.  What an awful reflection you give of our species.  Greedy, power-seeking, profit-searching, self interested, calculating people who will go to any lengths, walk over vulnerable children and adults, showing a total contempt for the quality of, or existence of, life.  And for what?  

FOR MONEY.  FOR POWER. FOR PERSONAL GAIN.

please see my post  the other antidepressant thread.  Thyroid is the most misdiagnosed (ignored) issue in our culture today.  Many people have gotten off prozac etc when they get their thyroid supplimented.  Check the other thread for websites and discussion groups. Good luck!

To: Heygirl :)
There's a lot of truth in what you say.  I'd just add that some  people who have been on SSRIs didn't have thyroid problems UNTIL they went on SSRIs.  SSRI's affect so many areas of the body - not only the brain and nervous system.  In case you haven't see the FDA list of Adverse Effects of Prozac (which is as you know an SSRI just as Celexa, Paxil, etc are) here it is (and thats an old list and reliant on the proportion of doctors who actually reported adverse effects):
