SSRI'S

[Lynzlou]

I was taking Paroxetine with good success for many years unfortunately it stopped working last November after being diagnosed with ptsd. Doctor suggested i tried another ssri started sertraline at beginning of year and it didn't suit me so started escitalopram in March and by June i settled well on 20mg. For weeks now its stopped being affective for me. Im curious to know if paroxetine could help me again after almost a year off it. Anyone any success stories with going back on an ssri that once stopped working

After being on antidepressants for decades I became treatment resistant to them. Had great success with a few for a while. Started on Prozac right after it came out in the late 80's and it worked great for about 10 years, same with Celexa following that. After that it was hit or miss with several others. The last few I was on either didn't work or gave me intolerable side effects. I was even retried on Prozac with no luck. That was my experience but perhaps for you you may have better luck retrying a med. There are so many meds out there. Luckily after meds no longer helped I had success with TMS(a noninvasive treatment).
