Hi, I am currently tapering off my paxil and switching to lexapro. My pdoc told me I may have flu like symptoms during this time, minus the fever and aches. Well, it seems to be so! It is compounded by the fact that I am getting over a cold... I got 8 hours of sleep last night, took a 2 hour nap late morning, and still feel like going to bed. Even just doing something simple like picking up around the house feels like a huge task! Anybody have any experiences with these (or other) symptoms with coming off of paxil. My pdoc did say it's one of the harder meds to come off of. Thanks for reading!
