Well I started Paxil last week. The first couple days were very difficult. I couldn't sleep at all and finally decided to take a benadryl before bed. Also I felt like I was going crazy in a way. I am starting to feel better. The lumps of blah seem to be gone and I don't feel like everything is too difficult. I have read a lot of info on the internet and now realize what I have gotten myself into being on this stuff. Matthew thanks for the info, I can't believe the dr. didn't tell me about the withdrawal from this stuff! Actually she didn't tell me much of anything just gave me the samples and sent me on my "merry" way. Things are mellowing out and I know I am going to have to stay on this for quite a while.
