I have discontinued Paxil 25 mg CR for 12 days now for family planning purposes. I was taking it for generalized anxiety disorder. I am under the care of my phychiatrist and OB Gyn. He suggested I taper off, but I chose the cold turkey route. I have done my research on the internet on withdrawl effects and I have just about experienced them all. From hot/ cold nightsweats, fatigue, diarrea, flu-like symptoms, nausea, dizziness, headaches, and shakiness. I also have been experiencing extreme shakiness when I have not eaten for about 3 hours. Almost as if I have trouble maintaining blood glucose levels. My question is I am approaching the 2 week mark and I keep thinking these nasty side effects will all go away now. How long do these side effects take to completely be free from your body? I know I should just be positive and realize I was on this medicine for two years, it just might not dissappear in two weeks. I am mostly concerned with the dizziness , nausea, and blood sugar drops? I am 35 years old . Paxil was the only medication I was on. I am very healthy. I am 116 lbs , about 5'4. I take a multi- vitamin every day. I also have had two healthy pregnancies and births before I was on Paxil. I have had no trouble with any health problems until I quit Paxil. What do you think ?? Oh! I have been taking Dramamine the last two days to help with dizziness and nausea. It has helped slightly. Thanks, Chewy23
