I would suggest asking her office help to help you fill out the paperwork. This should not be a big deal.

I have been on Paxil (paroxetine) for 11 years. I do not find it to be a problem. I tolerate it well.

Your doctor will likely prescribe what she/he is familiar with. I would suggest getting a referral to a psychiatyrist. They will have a better understanding of the different SSRI's. There are also SNRI's that may help you. Many with PCS have problems with norepinephrine. An SNRI may help with that.

Elavil (nortriptyline, a tri-cyclic) is commonly used for PCS. It is effective for PCS at small doses, 10 mgs per day.

I'd rather not be on Paxil but I know how I am without it. Not a pleasant experience.

If your doctor is willing to try something besides an SNRI or SSRI, it may be worth a try. SNRI's and SSRI's can be a problem when you want to stop taking them. Some people have to taper down very slowly.

Hope this help.

My best to you.
