Taking Paxil. Started Getting Night Sweats, Headaches And Vertigo. Looking For Relief?
On the other hand, when a medication from the class of SSRI is started for any reason (it could be for treating anxiety, or depression), it is better that it is continued until at least 6 months. The reason is that when a situation like anxiety happens for the brain, it is confronted with some micro-structural changes.
The medication help the brain to restructure itself. It takes time these changes to be established. They might induce some side effects, and it is better those side effects are managed with dose reduction or adding a supplementary medication.
If somebody discontinues the medication when she/he feels a good mental state and it is before the appropriate time, there is risk of symptoms relapse in the near future.
Feel free to ask me any other question regarding the issue or during the follow up and I wish you a god health.
I hope you have the bast health.
