    Paxil Withdrawal

    I would never recommend anyone to take Paxil. I went through hell for withdrawal.

    Brain felt buzzy or brain zaps, dizzy, irritable, night sweats, high anxiety. After two weeks though everything seems fine.

    I found Paxil worked wonders for my anxiety.. but had some unwanted side effects. I was only on it for about 6 weeks, but when I stopped taking it I had most of the effects you described. Only for me it lasted just about 2-3 days. Very unpleasant though

    I've had crazy withdrawal symptoms for Paxil as well. It wasn't helping me at all so I decided to come off it. I had withdrawal symptoms for nearly 2 months cause I had been on it for so long. It was hell. Was constantly sick & everything else you mentioned. Paxil is highly addictive & I've read that people have been hospitalized over withdrawal from it cause it's that bad. I urge everyone that currently or has thought about taking Paxil of this consequence.
