Oh man. You definitely want to tell a doctor if you have one. I know that may be bad news for people who cannot afford it, but to those reading this who can't, you must try to find a way. It doesn't sound like anything too terrible, but...I am not a doctor. I just quit Xanax cold turkey and am on day six. I'm getting the twitches. But I am happy to have seemingly gone through the worst of it. I never want to touch a dependancy causing drug again. But you what they say about wants and needs. Still, my guard remains up. I had no choice but cold turkey as I had a doctor that cut me off just before the weekend. Not a good Doc, and now my ex-doc. I saw my new Doc today. People like me and you have survived cold turkey but many people have not. Its dangerous. I realize with this condition we are all fragile to fear. So don't be afraid, especially if you're up and kicking 6 months later. Just see a Doc when you are able.

Quitting Paxil is hard enough.  By now, you'd think enough has been written about this med to prevent anyone from quitting it cold turkey.  But you did.  Try taking a hefty dose of fish oil every day and see if it helps.  These meds can have lengthy withdrawals, so everyone, please be careful out there.
