I have Major Depression since last 20 years. I was on fluoxetine 20 mg to 60 mg for almost 20 years and 1 year back I switched to 200 mg Lamictal at night and 6 months back Paroxetine CR 50 mg at Lunch in place of fluoxetine. The problem is even though there is some improvement in mood after introduction of paroxetine I am often facing problem of abscess with pus at some part or other of the body causing lot of pain and discomfort. I never had this problem with fluoxetine and also with Lamictal. Can it be because of Paroxetine? Pls advise me another good SSRI in place of Praxotine with least side effects. Regards
