To Gracygump-
Check out the postings this month about Paxil withdrawl. I experienced severe withdrawl symptoms and later found out that it's best to withdraw from Paxil gradually (very gradually). I've heard that decreasing the dosage in fourths over a one month period can greatly reduce the withdrawl symptoms. I've also read that augmenting with Prozac during this gradual withdrawl period can help. I ended up switching doctors because my doctor failed to tell me I'd experience withdrawl symptoms. I now understand that this happens in a majority of Paxil withdrawl cases. Let me know if I can answer any other questions for you- I don't want to sound like I am giving too much advice, but you might want to talk to another doctor.
Take care,
Erin
