basscatcher Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I have been pondering this in my mind. Alpha kinda stirred it in me. The other day I was explaining I was told that my bf Xgf is on Paxil and he said she is taking around 1,000 mil a day of the stuff. She increased it on her own gradually without consulting her doctor and she hasn't been back in a very very long time for a checkup.. She is not a small woman. She is around 6 ft tall and she is a good build. She is about a medium build. What would 1,000 mil of Paxil do to someone if they built up a tolerance to it over increasing it over a long period of time? I believe Alpha said something about the average dosage being 20 to 80 mil. Is it even possivle for someone to take 1,000 mil or could he have mistaken it for 100 mil?? (maybe I misunderstood him--I do have dyslexia in math.) But anyway, I am curious? Can anyone give me a educated explaination? Link to post Share on other sites

Author basscatcher Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Wow... Charlie stated things about her that are in this list of side effects. He said she had to be careful in her movement sometimes because she would get dizzy, she has little interest in sex, she would change her moods and mind all the time on the spin of a moment, he would never know when she would flip out (get weird), she didn't have a bowel movement but maybe once a week, she lives off Cereal. she feeds her kids Cereal also. Wow, this woman better watch out. Link to post Share on other sites
