Hi
I totally agree with CK1, I stupidly came off Seroxat 8 years ago, 3 years later depression started again and I started Seroxat only to have horrendous side effects. I never had those side effects before.
Anyway two years down the line after trying lots of different ADs and combinations to no avail I tried going on Seroxat at a higher dose. This time strangely I had no side effects apart from a rough couple of days to begin with and they started to work but never like they had in the past.
Now the Seroxat has stopped working and I have a feeling I'm going to have to rely on Antipsychotics.
However, if I were you I wouldn't give up just yet. Years ago, over 10 years ago I came off Seroxat and went back on it, had the anxiety affects but it seemed to work out ok in the end.
You never really can tell.
But I def think they should be doing a study on why this happens and I can't believe your Doc was suprised that you were having these bad affects, where does he/she live, in cloud cuckoo land????
All the best
Denise
