withdrawal symptoms getting off paxil

withdrawal symptoms getting off paxil

I am getting off paxil and my dr said for the first week take 1/2 a day . Never told me to take any more. I am having a hell of a time. Its been about 3 weeks. Is there anything natural to take to help my symptoms? My withdrawal symptoms seem to be getting worse, not better. I never REALLY needed an antidepressent in the first place.

You'll find answers on the internet that indicate that withdrawal from paxil is like withdrawing from celexa.  When you do so, it's like every day, you get these "spinnies" that can really be annoying, and that happens when the reduction in the dose is too much too fast.  (went through that myself).  I found that it took a few months to get rid of the spinnies, and I understand that with paxil, it can be worse.  Talk with your doc about it - if you were on a high dose, you may have to taper off more gradually over a longer time.  For myself, I was switched over to another antidepressant with less side effects (yeah - a sex life again...) and that may have helped with side effects not appearing (or at least, not being as bad).
