In reply to Withdrawl from Effexor XR and now Paxil!, posted by Kara on February 6, 2001, at 10:39:39
> Please email me or post a follow up regarding the Paxil. Thanks!
*************************************************Yes, I did take Paxil (read my post Oct 20, 2000).
I found it very beneficial. I too had migraines before the Paxil. The headaches, completely subsided with the medication. Migraines and depression seem to go hand in hand, and one can bring on the other.As I mentioned in the earlier post, I was on Paxil for 5 years. I had stopped cold turkey on two occasions for pregnancies with barely noticeable side effects. Upon my final quitting of Paxil (due to side effects) I was weaned off it while i introduced Effexor XR over a period of 2 weeks. I had no negative withdrawal side effects.
I wish you luck with the Paxil, sometimes it is difficult to sleep with the paxil and I took seroquel( only 1/2 of a 25mg tablet, helped me sleep like a baby) Everybody is different, but I think you doc is right with this one for your headaches.
