Default Paxil And Neuropathy
Hi Everyone!

First time user. Just wondering if anyone has experience or knowledge of any connection between SSRI's and neuropathy? Have bee trying to taper from 40 mgs of Paxil. Presently holding at 11.7 mgs/ Have gone from tingling in feet to to numbness. Mostly confined to toes. Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Stan

Hi Stan.

I don't know about that kind of side effect with Paxil. In fact, Paxil is one of those AD's that is supposed to help with pain. I did note on side effects of Paxil paresthesia is included, but I think that is a skin sensation, such as burning, prickling, itching, or tingling, with no apparent physical cause.

At least you've come to a caring and supportive community, and I hope you find some answers!

Past Paxil user myself! I was on Paxil for years and wanted to get off. I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of Cymbalta (touted to help with fibromyalgia). I went through hell getting off Paxil. My doctor said he had several patients he had to help get off Paxil, but I was his worst case. It took me several months to completely get off of it. I ended up using the liquid Paxil and going down just 1 mg. per week. Otherwise, 'normal' tapering was sending me into a horrible tailspin with awful symptoms and a general feeling of losing my mind!

You should speak with a doctor, I think, about your situation. You should be checked for whatever is causing the sensation in your feet.

Best wishes.
