06 Nov 2012 I have been on seroxat for 1 week now and it gives me side effects before i was feeling better . my libido is gone to hell already after 1 day, I could not have sex with my girlfriend or even think about sex at all which is not normal for 29 years old man. I have been taking seroxat because i had an bad accident with weed a few weeks ago .It's my first time of trying to smoke and guess what I had the biggest panic attack of my life. I thought i was going to die and I was alone in my condo after that I developed PTSD . I went to see 2 psychiatrists on the same week just to confirm my symptoms . The first one didn't give me any medication , he just tough me about breathing exercise . althoght the second doctor said " you will need to take medication" and there they are Seroxat, Frisium and some beta blocker I have been reading a lot of seroxat side effects on the internet . should i continue taking them???

17 Jul 2011 This drug at 20mg had no effect on me. I sunk deeper into a depression and lost my job and career. I found St. John's Wort Liquid Tincture to be more effective. I also started getting Muscle Spasms on the left hand side of my face; it fealt like I was having a Stroke. I was left feeling suicidal for about 4 months.
