DOSE: |
40 mg | oral | Pharms - Paroxetine | (daily) |
BODY WEIGHT: | 260 lb |
On the lower doses nothing too special happend except for some sexual dysfunction. But after time I started to notice that aprox. 30 min after taking paxil I would start to see a little vibration on my vision if I was concentrated on something. The following days more symptoms became apparent. The next week or so my brain was feeling fried like it was on fire but that went away after my body got used to paxil.
Then one day I wake up and go to the toilet where it was dark and no lights were on, and I was seeing hallucinations and very apparent (they looked like something when you take LSD). And this time if I would concentrate on something I would get a tingling sensation over my body and I would start to faint if I didnt react. When there was light there werent any hallucinations just some distortions like discribed earlier. This happend to me every morning but would go away slowly as time went on. It for sure was a scary experience the first time it happend but later I got used to it. It probably was probably a allergic reaction or serotonin syndrome, but for sure those were the weirdest experiences I have ever had.
