I have only been on Paxil (30mg) 8 mos. I let my
prescription run out over a 3 day weekend. Well,
by the 3rd day, I was miserable. I didn't know
it was connected to the Paxil, until I saw the
60minutes (or 20/20) show. The show was a
blessing. I went to my dr. and told her I wanted
off this medicine. So, she told me to take 20mg a
day for a week, then 10mg a day for a week, then
I should be fine. I am already into my 2nd week,
and I am not feeling any better. I am experiencing
spinning in my head, when I move my eyes, my
brain seems to go the other way, I sense a
snapping in my head, and a terrible constant
ringing in my head, I am nauseated, and I am
having insomnia. How much longer will this last?
Is there any type of relief to ease the symptoms?
This is a horrible, nasty drug.
