Leaving Paxil

"I am 25 years old and have been taking paxil for 8 years."

I hold a really good job, have a great boyfriend, family, and friends, and what I would consider an all around 'great life'.

Everytime I have tried to withdraw of paxil, I've gotten extremely sick. Now over the past two weeks I have officially started the weening process. After all, long term effects could be devastating and no anti-depressant is meant to be taken forever.

I have cut all my 30mgs in halves. I've been taking 15mgs now for the 2 weeks. Symptoms are creeping up on me now pretty badly. It began with the nightmares. And VIVID dreams like never before.

I wake up tons through out the night, and some are really really scary! Plus my boyfriend is scared because I am breathing extremely heavy in my sleep and doing odd things, then he awakes me and I'm having full on panic attacks.

This morning I woke up so sick to my stomach and am sitting at work having trouble breathing, with my head in a cloud.

I won't give in though....to everyone out there going through this....best of luck, you are NOT alone. I'm heading to a therapist for a little help as well. I can't imagine what is going to happen when I start taking less and I can't help but think, will I ever be normal again.

Only time will tell I suppose!

In addition to reading and perhaps learning from these comments, you might also want to learn about the hidden energies that control your life right now.

I almost feel guilty because my life has become so enjoyable and so easy. Especially since I remember how miserable I used to be.

Basically it comes down to making one slight shift in what you do everyday, and you can watch in amazement as your life slowly begins to start working out in almost every way.

It's such an important change that I've written a complete e-book about it. And I'd like to give you a copy for free. All you have to do is write your first name and primary email address into the space below, and you'll be receiving a link to download the e-book right away.
