Paroxetine (ssri) And Its Impact On the Ulcerative Colitis Posted: 05-18-07 14:48pm
Hello all, Smile
i'm new here, on this forums.
I've a problem and I want to take the
information from various sources.
I consider starting taking some paroxetine
cure (not the gsk's one but a generic) for
my social anxiety. It is said that
paroxetine is a safe and nearly ideal cure
for sa-ers. I've heard that it changes
one's personality which is something
pretty well-looking for me; I dislike my
current personality and behavior. Other
its curing effects also seem as wonderful
for me.
But recently i've found some opinions
about paroxetine which are quite alarming;
that there are severe problems with
withdrawal and other horrible symptoms. It
has surprised me a lot! This cure was
always thought as safe. I know about a
person who withdrew it suddenly after over
a year and had no side effects!
The additional problem for me is, that
i've also ulcerative colitis. It causes,
saying generally, anemia & general
weakness pretty often. It also demands
taking pretty many cures
(antiinflammatory, immunosupressive ones)
and I don't want to additionally
"overload" my liver and kidneys! If it
would be effectless (i doubt if curing the
phobia would be effective during the
anemia duration)...
And it's said that ssris can cause the
alimentary canal bleeding as well, what
would be very undesirable for me...
I am afraid a lot that paroxetine could
impact negatively on my ulcerative
colitis; the information i've found is
poor and not definite...
what I should do? Question Question
Question
could you advice me somehow? I know that
the problem is quite rare, but there are
also such people who have more than 1
severe diseases simultaneously...
