Pppd treatment

Question

Pppd treatment

Asked for Male, 35 Years

I have been diagnosed by my neurologist with PPPD. Earlier sertraline and escitalopram tried but couldn't tolerate. They were too activating for me. So now I have been given paroxetine 12.5 mg CR tablet since 6 months which was working quite well. But since 1 month its effect reduced. Now only effective for few hrs (8 hrs) then again pppd worsning. So my doctor adviced me to take paroxetine 25 mg cr now. But i can not tolerate it as 25 mg all at once. So can i take it like 12.5 mg cr morning + evening for pppd. ? Twice a day dose. My main trigger is visual /motion .

If you want to split it into 2 doses, CR (controlled release) should not be taken. Instead tablet *without CR* 12.5mg can be taken
