> Hey, How are you doing?
> I can't make this too social cause its the med board, but its great isn't it, the reassurance from finding out you aren't alone. Its truly incredible the side-effects that are completely ignored. Then you talk to people here and you know if THAT many people have the same occurence its appalling that its not mentioned.
> I try not to get angry about it but its hard.
> My Paxil withdrawl is not my worst, but its awful.
>I read on the net that inhaling lavendar was good when you start crying. I tried it and it does help. It somehow lifts your mood and makes you feel better. I also read something interesting yesterday which I think is yet another side effect of taking Zoloft. It is supposed to slow your breathing and that can cause spasms in your chest which in turn cause shortness of breath and some chest pain. I can add that to another of the "rare" side effects that I have had from taking the Zoloft. I wonder if anyone else has had a side effect like that while taking an SSRI. The doctors I am sure would say it is anxiety, but I have had anxiety and this is just pure and simple shortness of breath and chest pain. I did tell the doctor about this at one time and she did a heart monitor and tread mill test on me and found out my heart if just fine, but she never suggested it could be Zoloft and I had never looked up the medical terms in the side effects brochure.
Don't know if this is allowed, but, you can e-mail me at jhumber@ghg.net if you want to talk about something that can't be put on the board.
