I was on paroxetine for a few years then decided to come off late last year so between December last year to May this year I tapered down and finally stopped the last 2.5mg in May, I did also take buspirone from December to April and stopped then started fluoxetine maybe around March or April but I’ve struggled all year. I have panic attacks and random pains and chest pains (have had blood tests and ecgs which were all normal) and I also get head pressure and lots of dizziness on and off. Is this still effects from tapering?

Hi so I was on paroxetine for a few years and slowly tapered off from December last year and finally came off it completely in May this year and I started fluoxetine a few months before too and I’ve been struggling a lot. Some days are great and I get loads done and then some days I’m so tired and feel dizzy and nauseous and my anxiety gets really bad. I don’t know if there’s still side effects from coming off paroxetine (paxil) because I’ve heard it’s hard to come off or if the side effects are from the fluoxetine, I also get a lot of floaters in my vision since starting fluoxetine - has anyone had a similar experience and if so does it eventually get better
