Since I was a teenager I haven’t seemed to be able to tolerate SSRIs. Doctors keep just telling me to take another dose of Paxil but my stomach is so messed up keep having accidents nauseous my mouths dryer then the Sahara my jaw seems to be bothering me 10x more I feel weak my arms are sore and get tight chest gets tight and is sore dizzy I finally called again today since it was my 8th dose and I’m like I can’t handle this on top of my regular anxiety symptoms my body feels like shit it felt like shit before taking the ssri but seems different now. I also get like confused it feels like or I shut my eyes for a little and open them and I feel like I’m in another dimension it’s so weird.
