Hi Yona,

I did not experience any withdrawl at all from Paxil; this may be due to the fact that I was only on 10 mg. (I tried 20 and never made it out of bed.) However, I had a lot of trouble on Serzone. In fact, I felt so much worse. I had paresthesia, euphoria and an intense Migraine the very first day. (Ironically, I was put on Serzone (and Paxil) to prevent migraines caused from anxiety/depression. The euphoria may have been an aura of the migraine as I experience deja vu episodes and changes in smell and taste before a migraine.) By my fourth week, I still had paresthesia and had developed left eye pain, trembling, flu-like symptoms (sore throat and nasal congestion) and I was so down that I didn't want to leave my house. As soon as I began to taper off, I began to feel better. So for me, the Paxil was fine (except for some of the usual side effects), but the Serzone wasn't.

Hope this helps. Cakes

P.S. I stopped Paxil due to weight gain, sexual dysfunction and hair loss. (Now on Effexor xr)
