About Paxil Withdrawal
by janiemarie, Jun 02, 2004 12:00AM
To confirm/validate Amanda's feelings (from Wednesday, October 13, 1999). . . I am also having problems of withdrawal that effect my eye movements. (It's as if I can hear my eyes blinking.) I recently changed from 20MG of Paxil to 150MG of Wellbutrin to try and releave sexual side effects cause by Paxil. Other side effects I am having include the return of social anxiety and excessive feelings of sadness. My question: Should I take lowest does of Paxil and Wellbutrin together until I build up Wellbutrin in my system? Can I take them together?
