Going To Psychologist For Stopping Oaxil Cold. Shaky And Sweating In Hands. Used All Types Of Anti Depressants. Is This Parkinson S Disease?

Hi, i, am looking for a neurologist for my cousin who lives in Pt. Richie, Fla. I, live in New Jersey. For the past 2-1/2 years she has been going to a psychologist because she stopped her Paxil cold turkey. She then started shaking and sweating in her hands. The psychologist before her put her on all tpes of anti-depressants. And, no help to this day. As, a matter of fact she is now shaking inside her body and she can t explain it. I, am trying to find help for her as she lives in New Jersey also, but, moved to stay with her sister in Florida. And, no help has been given to her. I, hope you can help her. She said she does not have Parkinson s. Please, can you help her.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response

Hello,

Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.

I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.

Paxil has a problem with discontinuation. On discontinuation it results in severe withdrawal symptoms. It may not be parkinsons disease. She may need some other antidepressants and there are many other benign options like escitalopram etc. Moreover never get a prescription from a psychologist as they are never trained in writing medicines. Always insist on prescription from a psychiatrist.

Hope I am able to answer your concerns.

If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
