Friends, I’m really miserable here. I’ve been tapering off 40mg Paxil (-10mg/month) that I took for 2 years and I finally reached dose 0 two days ago. The first 2 steps were easy, the last month has been terrible, but now it’s reached hellish proportions. Horrible headaches with dizziness and nausea and lots of crying, like my head is full of a dense liquid that never quite settles. Pretty much any activity makes it worse, as do eye movements like scrolling and reading. I’m managing it with acetaminophen and caffeine, my doc got me to try propranolol but that made me even more dizzy and weak-feeling. I can’t do anything but lie there and feel miserable.

All right knowledgeable people, I think I’m almost ready to pull the trigger on this major upgrade. I need your help.

My usual daily need is to pull two shots in a row and then steam milk for macchiato/flat white for my boyfriend and I, then usually at least one more espresso a little later. Will the larger boiler size of the VBM help keep the temp consistent between the back to back shots?

For the Lelit, I’ve decided the upgrade from Anna to Grace is worth it to me, but probably not the one from Grace to Victoria (only portafilter size, I think?).

So far, planning to pair with Eureka Specialita.

What else did I not consider?

Are there any Canadians on here who succeeded in getting a Niche? How much did you pay? Were the shipping and import costs outrageous?

Im trying to decide if it’s worth waiting for, and get myself a cheaper/used grinder in the meantime. Thanks, guys!

This community is amazing, so I thought I’d ask here for advice.

I started paroxetine about 2 years ago, after my escalating anxiety led me to an ER trip because of helplessness over crazy physical symptoms. I never got a diagnosis before that, so that’s what started all the steps towards managing it. Anxiety obviously isn’t gone, but I’m dealing with it about 10000x better than I was. Physical symptoms are somewhat rare and mostly at a certain time in my cycle. I’ve moved on from the circumstances and environment that triggered the onset of symptoms. I don’t know how much of feeling ok is due to the medication, could be all, could be none. I think I’m good to try getting rid of it, but
