I had no reaction to paxil (or should I say no reactions to anything while ON paxil), but severe withdrawal going off -- and thank you, Noa, for the "Henny-Penny" moniker for my sky-is-falling free-floating-anxiety syndrome ;^) -- and it took me 4-5 weeks to beat that. Still, it seems to me that if the itch comes from having it in you (instead of NOT having it in you), you should be losing it soon (from dove's comments about its short half-life).
I dunno -- the neighborhood experts out there may be able to say more about whether side effects and withdrawal effects can be identical, but my simple sense of it votes probably not. Hang in there!
