Paxil almost took my life

Antidepressants

“Never just stop.”

I will make this short and to the point. The drug Paxil almost took my life and I am still not over it. 2 congestive heart failures almost a massive stroke.

My so-called head doctor from India had kept increasing my dosage till I was taking 4 times the amount of a normal dosage.

Folks this is a serious problem. I have been off Paxil for over 7 years and still battle the effects. When he realized he had me over medicated, he asked me to stop taking it. I did what he told me. Big mistake! Never just stop.
