It was 1 and a half of 10mg so i assume 15 mg i think how long should i wait for symptoms to pass before seeing a doctor and is this something that is permenant or fatal? Im fuctioning im completing task at work i just cant shake the nervousness and jittery movements
No seizures im not missing sleep anymore and my sex drive is fine all the symptoms that would appear to be severe do not exsist ots just the jittery anxious feeling
Sorry just got the right dosage it was one in a half of 20 mgs so 30 mgs total
Brief Answer:
If it is 30 mg total, it would be fine.
Detailed Answer:
Hi sir,
Welcome back,
I have gone through your follow up query.
Yes, if it is only 30 mg of paxil, that is fine, nothing to worry.
If you are not able to tolerate symptoms... then only you need to consult your doctor. This is not permanent damage and this side effect disappears in few weeks. Drink lots of clean water to excrete the medicine.
Hope this information would help you.
