dizzy

I have taken 10mg. Paxil for about 2 years. I have not taken it in 2 days, I'm feeling really dizzy and at times disoriented. Is this normal and will it go away?

What if it doesnt?  i have been off of it for just 10 days now and the weight I gained is NOT coming off. How long will that take?

It is very common and it will go away in either days or weeks, hard to predict. It seems you went off cold turkey, which is a mistake and can be dangerous...if you go back on it at a lower dose and wean yourself off of it over a three week  period, the last week taking the lowest dose every third day, you will not have any withdrawal symptoms like  this.
