Paxil withdrawal

Posted by hippos4me @hippos4me, 4 days ago

After slowly withdrawing from Paxil, I am having night sweats. Has that been a problem for anyone else? I also have difficulty just relaxing.

I was taking paxil years ago and stopped involuntarily after my incarceration. I had been taking it for two years and abruptly was taken off and I had severe side effects such as dizziness and sand paper sounds in my head. It was horrible but I never had any sweats that I can remember but I was very depressed, tired and zombie like. When I wasn’t, I felt anxious like you mentioned. I’m sure that everyone is probably going to experience different issues with this and depending on what’s being treated and how it affects you is going to determine the opposite effect when you come off it.
If you don’t mind me asking, why do you want to come off it?
