I was on Paxil for 14 years, and had enough of it's problems...sweating way too much
anytime of the year, nastiness, unrelated anger to situations, rages, poor decision making, It made me a monster.
When I stopped no one told me DO NOT STOP COLD TURKEY......I did in April 08 and in Sept. I went into the most hellish experience I ever had. Head pressure, lights flashing in my eyes, burning in hands and feet, tingling all over my body, OCD way off the wall, and fear I have never known before. Now it Is Dec. 09, and I still have some symptoms
of light headiness, and some light burning. I have lost a year of my life to this poison, protracted withdrawal can be a biggie with this. I cannot tolerate any ssri's at all. No work, no driving... Paxil wrecked my life.
