Started on Doxy 200mg every 12 hours for Lyme Disease about 7 days ago and have had painful pins and needles sensation in my hands - on and off since about day 4. The top of the hands seem most affected and any exposure to water (and the resulting evaporative cooling) causes elevated sensation for about 1-2 hours. Any exposure to sun causes a painful sunburn-like sensation. I will be staying out of the sun and hope the pins and needles will go away soon.

I've been on Paxil for the last year and every so often I check around on the web to see if anyone has anything GOOD to say about this medication ;-)
For a change I thought I'd throw in my input too to help anyone who may be contemplating using this drug.

I have to say that I think paroxetine hydrochloride (Paxil's generic name) is really a wonder drug in the sense that it completely re-balanced my neurotransmitter chaos and intense panic attacks I experienced last year when I was completing my PhD. Yes, there were changes in my life and my body--easier to gain weight, delayed orgasm/climax (but honestly I would say I have an increase in sex drive, not a decrease), occasional tingling in my fingers or some tension in my jaw, and those absolutely psychedelic dreams. But all in all it's really all positive, not negative. I've experienced a lot more pleasure in my life, calm, mellowness. I have more space around things that used to really bother me intensely. I no longer obsess about this and that. And together with acupuncture, massage, exercise (hot yoga is great), good therapy sessions, and a total restructuring of the way I approach my life, I feel quite confident to come off the drug now.

For those of you worried about withdrawal, you should get the book "The Antidepressant Solution" by Joseph Glenmullen, which is a very clear, methodical guidebook to coming off these powerful medications. His point, as a neurologist and psychiatrist, is that basically our bodies wonderfully adjust to the influx in serotonin by calibrating to the new chemical balance in our blood-- and this takes time--usually a month, for us to biologically come up with the exact "mix" appropriate to our own body. The Paxil starts working the day you take it, but it doesn't produce the desired effect until your body has balanced it out and integrated it.

And the same is true when you withdraw, because your body has to gently adjust again. For reference, I'm down to 5mg from my original 20mg and I feel great. I have had no side effects in withdrawal except for sleepiness and wild dreams, and maybe a touch of dizziness here and there, but I understand these all to be side-effects, and so I'm just gentle with myself and take my time-- I'm tapering off the drug over the course of four-five months, by the way.... The people who complain of all the zaps and the crazy horrifying withdrawal symptoms are people who don't do the tapering gradually enough and don't realize the mechanics going on in their bodies. Stopping cold turkey is never a good idea-- It's like attempting to run a marathon without building up your body first or even stretching.

Your body needs to adjust to the new chemistry bit by bit-- that's all. So long as you observe this and listen to your body every step of the way, I think Paxil is a very trustworthy and friendly tool to integrate into your therapy regarding anxiety, depression and panic. But it's just a tool, and that cannot be stressed enough.

I had been on fluoxetine for 14 years- I have never heard of fluoxetine *hydrochloride*, but there doesn't seem to be plain fluoxetine on here. I have taken a year off, and the only side effect I am being hit with in hindsight are the DREAMS! On fluoxetine, dreams were a huge part of my life. I remembered so much of them, it was almost hard to tell what was real and what was a dream, and I loved the dream life that I lived at night. It was like I was never asleep! I have only remembered one dream in the year that I have been "drug free."

I have recently had a UTI. I've had Cipro and Phenazopypridine Hydrochloride prescribed for me. I have taken Cipro many times in the past and no bad reaction at all. The PH has given me a horrible, hard to stand, rash. I am suffering something terrible and have been using Calydryl and Benadryl. I took a cool soothing shower and that seemed to help, but I can't stay in the shower all day. This medication should be taken off the shelves.
I have had headache and bumps on my scalp and torso and arms and front of my body and legs, etc. I itch so much I can't help but scratch. I'm going nuts with this rash.

This is not so much a side effect but I had a question and I was wondering if you would be able to answere it for me.If you are not able to do this you can viod this email.
yesterday my brother went to the doctor because of a lot of discomfort he was having with his eye after a game of basketball he played the night before {resulting in a blow to his eye}. the doctor told him he had an abrasion on his cornea. They prescribed him an ointment that he has been using but because of all the pain he still feels, his friend had some proparacaine hydrochloride ophthalmic solution USP,0.5% and let my brother try it. It worked well at releiving the pain {even if for a short amount of time}, so he has been using it ever since. Is this something that can be used freely like that or is it for doctors use only. Any information you can provide on this would be very helpful. Thank you for your time. ~Rebecca ***
