Accepted Answer

No, but do tell Dr.: This is not a good side effect - tell your provider and ask for alternatives. Different approaches may have less serious side effects and adding talk therapy might be a good idea too. Your neurological seizure condition may complicate things, so be patient and cautious. I hope you find a better choice.

Question 2

i've been taking paxil (paroxetine) for 3 weeks.. for the past 2 days i have experienced a mild tremor, and my heart is racing.. even some chest pain. normal?

Accepted Answer

Not exactly: No, this is not exactly "normal, "  but Paxil (paroxetine) can produce a tremor as well as increased heart rate and even chest pain in a small number (2-3%) of people.  Please contact your physician about these things; don't wait until the next appointment.  You may need a reduction in dose.  Also, you may want to stop use of caffeine and any other activating substances.

Question 3

my doctor prescribed propranolol for tremors due to cerebral palsy dystonia. can i take it together with paxil?

Accepted Answer

Typically, yes: Paxil and Propranolol can be taken together. One thing to realize, however, is that Propranolol lowers blood pressure, which can have the effect of making some people feel dizzy. Make sure you stay well-hydrated and use some caution with the 1st few doses, until you know for sure how it affects you. It shows that you take Klonopin as well; I would not take Propranolol and Klonopin at the same time
