So sorry you are having such a hard time with paxil withdrawal. I have never been on it, but I have heard it can be difficult. Hang in there, things will get better. Maybe your doctor can give you something to aid with the w/d?

Ahh, I can empathize. Paxil withdraw is horrible. I had as you called it "the whoosh effect" pretty bad. I just stayed in bed a couple days and listened to music to calm myself down.
Hope you feel better soon! |

My mom was on paxil and she said the withdrawal was horrible. Sorry, the only thing I have to offer you is a hug...

I've heard that Benadryl (diphenhydramine) helps with the woosh thingie. Also, a single 20 mg dose of Prozac can eliminate much of the withdrawal sequence altogether. It has a very long half-life, and sort of self-titrates its own withdrawal.

I've been on paxil for about a month now. Had 2 days that were actually pretty good. Since then .. well .. since then I know that the paxil isn't what I need. My doc put me on adivin along with the paxil (forget why...) .. but I've been having some Very disturbing dreams. Some I don't care to mention (yet) .. others are drinking dreams .. i quit 15 years ago .. lately been dreaming of getting drunk tooo much!
Anyway .. I know this doesn't help with your withdrawal .. i'm being selfish i suppose, cuz i know i have to go off the paxil .. and so i'll be looking for the easiest way to do that .. anyway I'm wondering if an herbal like St.Johnswort might help.. I do hope your withdrawals stop soon and the sun shines in your world .. jasmine
