Suffering From Body Pain, Drowsy And Numbness In Palm. Taking Paxidep, No Results. Suggest A Medicine With Right Dosage?

I used to feel very hot, body pain, drowsy, very weak all over the body and especially numbness on my palm. I visited a psychiatrist previously who prescribed Paxidep medicine. But alas it didn t helped in anyway. So it would be very helpful for me if you can prescribe me the correct medicine with proper dosage for this particular problem.

Hi

Paxidep is paroxetine , used in the treatment of anxiety and depression.

It belongs to the group of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant.

If you find this drug is not helping you , you can definitely talk to your psychiatrist to try some other medications like sertaline, venalafaxin, citalopam.

Doses of these drugs are individualized and can only be titrated after seeing the patient.

Thanks.
