I was on 10 mg of paxil and went though major withdrawl. Paxil is one of those medications that have a warning attached that you shouldn't go off it cold turkey due to exlectric zap like headaches, dizzyness and so on. some people have actually ended up in the hospital from withdrawing on paxil. contact your prescribing doctor so tha the or she can take you off it through decreasing the dosage in stages instead of you gonig cold turkey so that you don't have this problem.
