I've just been prescribed 20mg paroxetine hydrochloride (apo-paroxetine), 1 x day, 2 months and 1mg Lorazepam 2x day for what appears to be 12 days.
I'm not depressed per se, but am very tense and am at the end of my teather re certain circumstances in my life...I have done everything I can to change these circumstances, the remainder are out of my control. However I am internalising alot and i am now at the point where I am hitting and biting myself to try and reduce my tension. Therefore yes I see medication as a necessity right now...something to relieve the panic and tension i am swallowing.
I am however concerned about taking meds whilst breast feeding(my youngest child is 7 months). I do not want to stop bf. Gp says meds are safe, but I am not in uk and after a few bad experiences here i'm a bit cautious.
Anyone with any experience please...or a pharamacist/medic with a bnf within reach!
Thank you!
And sorry yes, I have namechanged.
