I’ve been in a super low dose of 10mg of fluoxetine for a year now (depression) but I am v sensitive to ADs and I have a constant brain fog. I saw the NHS Psychiatrist yesterday who recommended I switch to Patoxetine as it may help me sleep better and a change could also be good.
I have no problem changing (I have previously had sertraline) but when I’ve googled Paroxetine I see it is Seroxat.
I was on Seroxat over 25 years ago and had vivid nightmares as well as suicidal thoughts. I have previously told the Psych this but he obviously didn’t see that info in my notes and as he used the name Paroxetine I didn’t make the connection.
Has anyone previously had Seroxat and then gone back to it without the negative side effects? Has anyone a positive story of switching from fluoxetine to Paroxetine?
