Seroxat report #SELF-3351
Female patient reported the following Seroxat side effect(s):mood swings that were really scary when I started taking them, severe mood swings and when I tried to quit the medication. Muscle contractions (my jaws hurt like livin hell), anxiety and the return of my neurosis. I am scared of my feelings after being numb so much time. Living without it and without being numb is very scary. The feeling of love, happiness or sadness is now uncomon to my body and I freak a lot when I react normal. The need of comunication that lacked with seroxat scares me also. I\'m scared of my need to socialise because it has been gone when taking the drug. It also works the same on my need to do things, the feeling of being alive and the easynes I can do things now(seroxat slowed me down). It\'s like living for the first time and it\'s scary, terrifying. Plus the insomia that appeares after quiting from being used to sleep almost all day
They made me feel \"safe\" from the world and wish to do nothing at all from socialising to taking baths... all tasks seem hard to perform. I used to sleep all day. This state appeared after 1 month of mood swings
