Paxil Withdrawals
Paxil Withdrawals
Wow! It's 6am. I haven't slept since yesterday and it is my 3rd day of not taking paxil.
I have been on it for nine years and had no idea that this is an epidemic until my boyfriend said get on google, type: withdrawal effects of paxil.
This is a nightmare. Last night I awoke after having blood, gory, sadistic, murdering nightmares. I have also experienced the dizziness and nightmares on several other occassions when trying to quit paxil.
This is the 1st time, I have made it 3 days without paxil. I started to doze off several times only to suddenly have to sit up because I thought I wasn't able to breathe. This led me to frantically run around the bed crying. I really feel as though I'm not getting enough oxygen.(anxiety, huh?)
I even said to my boyfriend, "What if my heart depends on the paxil?"
Also, in the past 2 nights, on the other end of the spectrum, when I finally am relaxed and actually am in a deep state of sleep, I have violently jolted my body up to a sitting position, crying, claiming to my boyfriend that my heart stopped beating so I had to wake my self up to get it going again.
What the #### is wrong with me. I'm exremely emotional. I don't think I have cried this much, this morning since before I was on the paxil. I've been debating on whether I should pop another pill. It doesn't really have control over my heart or my breathing, does it?
I really feel like I need more answers, but for now I have decided since the dizziness has let down a bit, I won't take another pill but sleep with the bottle.
I don't think its normal for this stuff to be on the market when its almost impossible to quit it. How do we put and end to this.
I was completely clueless until I clicked those words in "google" and my nightmare has been confirmed by (thousands?) of others. So what's next? I guess I will find out becuase am not taking another pill.
Good luck to others going through this. Good night.
(Update)
Mark,
Early this a.m. I wrote about my withdrawals of paxil after 3 days of not taking it. I've read everyones' letters regarding paxil withdrawals.
I realize, I am only in the beginning of the battle of this drug. It is now 2pm and I have still not taken another pill (but I will sleep with the bottle).
I did not copy and paste my letter and was hoping that you would E-mail it to me so I have it on record.
It is strange to me that I haven't read any withdrawals of people feeling as if they can't get enough oxygen in there lungs or feeling that their heart beat is inadequate. I guess this is probably anxiety, though.
Any ways, if a suit is filed against Paxil, please keep me informed. Thankyou for your site And Thankyou to everyones'letters. I'm just so sorry that we are all experincing this. Those of you that have children, my heart goes out to you and them. Hang in there. Remember God is by our side and he will get us through this.
