Same here. Tried to go too fast and crashed. I was only taking 20mg and cut it to 10mg for 3 weeks, then 7 mg.and crashed. Went back to 40mg and still no sleep, depression and raging anxiety for 2 months. Saw Phyciatrist (nurse pracioner) who gave me Gabipenten (seizure med) because I was waking up.soaked with sweat. Also had a burning sensation on my back and shoulder and bottom of my feet like sunburn. Gabipentin is also used to treat nerve ending issues. It worked. Started sleeping again. Got a lot better. Now down to 30mg. Some anxiety still. Based on what I have read and am experiencing, paxil could take more than a year to get off. I am only reducing by 10 percent every 3 months. I expect anxiety to continue and be worse at every reduction. I use a drug scale and convert if the dose I am looking for is not available. Go to a compounding pharmacy if you need help. I shave it with a razor blade to get the weight I need to match the MG dose I am after. Don't rush it.
