I never had a problem weaning off the paxil before i started with 20 mgs and went down to 10 cuz of yup u got it WEIGHT GAIN.  i have been trying to wean off it this time but i think im doing it too fast.  I get super crabby and feel like i want to punch someone is this normal?  i never had this happen before, any suggestions?

Well im off it now for three days im feeling good and am starting to lose weight.  I wish the best for you.  If I have my way i plan to never take any antidepresants again.

I'm now on Lexapro, just upped to 30mg today.  I feel weird, I must say.  I'm trying to undo what going off Paxil did to me, I'm the weird reaction case that nobody knows what to do with.  Wish I had your ease in going off Paxil.  I gained 50 pounds on it over several years, never could lose it.  But the weight didn't drive me off it, it was other things.

well im only taking 5 mgs now i cut my 10s in half and im taking that every other day what are u on now paxiled?

If you're symptoms go away when you take the med again, that means it's definitely withdrawal.  That's kinda the test.

It's normal.  And not so bad considering.  If that's the worst of it, don't worry.
