SSRI Discontinuance Syndrome

[jmt143]

What is an anecdote for "brain zaps" following discontinuance of paroxetine?

Hope this is allowed here if not I understand. My husband was diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) when he was 63 years old 4 years ago. The Rilutek (riluzole) did very little to help him. The medical team did even less. His decline was rapid and devastating. His arms weakened first, then his hands and legs. He resorted to a wheelchair (Perbombil C300). A year ago, I began to do a lot of research and came across Health Herbs Clinic, I decided to start him on the ALS herbal protocol as I had nothing else to turn to;  2 months into treatment he improved dramatically. At the end of the full treatment course, the disease is totally under control. No case of dementia, hallucination, weakness, muscle pain and he is even learning to Walk again. visit www healthherbsclinic  c o m

Just go to your pills and take one, it'll stop.  You must wean off your medicine VERY slowly to prevent those electric zaps, so back off on the dose, a small cut every three or four days until you feel normal, then cut again, until you reach zero.  But anytime you have ANY problem getting off a drug, get up and go take a pill and you'll make it through any rough patches.

There is another post called "Body Shocks"  Read it and see if this will help you.  That person is trying to wean off of Prozac; an SSRI like Paroxetine.
