Hi All,
I'm new to this....
Here is my background.
Severe panic attacks for the past 5 or 6 years. I'm currently 22 now. I originally took 20mg of normal paxil. I switched to Paxil CR 25mg a while back. I tried switching from that to Lexapro. My doctor told me to quit paxil cold turkey and wait 2 weeks, then start the lexapro. That was a huge mistake!! Within days, I went back on the Paxil.
Now I got a new doc. He put me on Cymbalta. He said to stop taking paxil, and start with the cymbalta the next day. I did so. I have been on cymbalta for 2 weeks, things seem to have been going good. Two days ago, however, I felt like I was going to faint. I got very sick, and the doc said it was probably a side effect of the cymbalta. He is now having me switch to Zoloft. I'm on my 2nd day of it. I still have the sick symptoms. Any idea what's going on.
The panic is ruining my life, my job, and my mairrage. I'm desperate. I just want help.
Thanks
