Hey Dr Rynne, I was put on 40mgs of Paroxetine 17 years ago for depression, due to my ex husband leaving me with two small child Anyway, I worked as a nurse for 20 odd years. I come off these tablets cold turkey, Which I know was a silly thing to do! Went on Zoloft , felt great , Never cleaned the house so much and did laps around the park. I have Dystonia for about 7 years now so cant work, After being on Zoloft for 4 weeks, I have a huge seizure that lasted for 6 days, Sent to hospital 3 times no care given at all !!! Then on the 3rd times there 11 hours later, I was told by a neruo doctor told me it was all in my head and I could stop the seizures myself and needed to see a psychiatrist, Not one nurse or doctor knew about Dystonia, I knew these convulsions but they wouldn t have a bar of it, I have lost so much weight and feel so week but wouldn t sent a dog to that hospital,
Dear, firstly we'll need to confirm a seizure via brain EEG investigation, if positive and correlates with the clinical presentation, anticonvulsant Chat Doctor. Another possibility is, considering the depression, possibility of pseudo seizures or of conversion reaction. In any case it will take a treatment of depression to cure it. Therefore, a consultation to psychiatrist is advisable and discuss the above-mentioned possibility. Welcome for further suggestions. Regards
