How To Switch From Paxil To Pamelor?
Started weaning off paxil about a week ago. Taking 10 mg every other day. Now every 3 days. Feeling tired and crying quite a bit. I m 67 and lost my husband in May and other hardships. My psychiatrist is switching me to Pamelor once I get off the paxil. Just want to know I m doing this correctly. I get together with friends couple times a week. But I m pushing myself at home to do normal chores and even getting dressed or sleeping is hard. When can I start the parlor

Hi,
The Paxil is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor and Pamelor is tricyclic antidepressant.
The period of 3-4 weeks is usually needed for the body to adjust the switching off the molecules and homeostasis management.
Rest of the method of switching over with dosage is perfect, need additional intake of plenty of liquids, meditations and walk in fresh air for best results.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
