I have gone from 50 mg paxil per day to 12.5. The symptoms are bad and I am not sure what to think; are they symptoms of relapse or symptoms to WD? I just started lamictal about the 1st of the year, with such great results that I wanted to see if this new drug which is more specific for bipolar would now allow me to get off Paxil. My symptoms are loads of crazy *** dreams, I'm ill as a hornet, I don't look forward to much of anything, brain zaps, some depression and some fatigue. No crying spells but I constantly feel like crying would really help but I can't. If I need the drug I want to go back to it. If I need to fight it out and get 1st to where I'm off it entirely and then maybe a few months without it to see if the symptoms go away, then of course I want to do that. Some things are better on less Paxil. I'm more creative. I sing better. I've taken on a major piano work, something I have not done in 30 years. My sex drive is better but not out of control, I'm exercising more. I've lost a wee bit of weight. My work and finances are better. Somebody tell me what you think.
