Was not doing well a few months ago so doc increased my Paxil-I recently got through the initial side effects - last week I actually felt almost normal again- I just don't feel like myself- I can't explain it to my therapist - I feel disconnected from everything, including my surroundings- it's like my cognitive map is off somehow - like it's difficult for me to think about my surroundings beyond what I can physically see- or to think about days ahead - I feel numb physically and emotionally - just wondering if anyone can relate to this disconnect and can many do better job describing it? Also my ears are ringing really loudly when I get like this.
Anyone?

Hello, Vonnegutjunky. Check out information on Depersonalization/Derealization. Have you told your prescribing doctor about your ears ringing?

Yes- I have - I know that I have dp/dr but I don't know if this is it, or a manifestation of it- I used to only get it in spurts but recently it's becoming more common - and these feelings come and go- I'll be ok for weeks and then they will come around for a week or so and then I'll get better - I just am having issues using words to describe how I feel

You can find many descriptions of "feeling like a zombie" on Paxil. It sounds like that might be similar to what you're experiencing.
