[LoveSleep]

I have used Valdoxan for SAD and it was a nightmare. Much worse than Paroxetine.

I began treatment in Early August this year premtively anticipating the onset of SAD. By 15 August I was so low I could hardly communicate with my friends but put this down to SAD and was hopeful that these symptoms would diminish after 2 weeks.

By week 3 of treatment I was suffering the strangest insomnia. I’d sleep for approx 2hrs then lie awake for half an hour. This repeated all night and remained constant all thru treatment. I was constantly exhausted.

By week 3 the exhaustion and low mood meant that I became suicidal. The quack increased the dose. I became overcome with thoughts of suicide and self harm and despite 3 weeks of complaining re insomnia, suicidal thoughts I wqas given tamazapam which gave temp relief for 4 days. after Then I still could not break the disrupted sleep patterns with 10 mgs of Tamazapam. I’m not playing around with that stuff!!!

I explained to my GP on Friday about my problems and he reccommended stopping Valdoxan. My PsycoQuack called this morning telling me to keep taking the stuff.

Since ceasing use of Valdoxan I got the first good sleep for 6 weeks on Sat nite and the suicidal thoughts have stopped too.

This med is as dangerous as Paroxetine and in my case even more dangerous than Seroxat/Paroxetine.

Be careful 🙂
