> Sudden withdrawal of paroxetine has been associated with many psychologic and physical reactions. Discontinuation symptoms usually begin within 2 to 3 days of stopping paroxetine and may last {if untreated} for 2 to 3 weeks. So, its possible you could still be having symptoms from it. Symptoms commonly include sleep disturbances, dizziness, vivid dreams, crying spells, insomnia, headache, lethargy, nausea, and paresthesia. But I've never seen panic-attacks listed as a specific side-effect of paroxetine-withdrawal in patients who previously never had panic-attacks.

Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology. 15(5):374-375, October 1998.I did previously have panic attacks before with my agoraphobia. I'm just wondering how long I'll have withdrawal symptons since I've replaced it with Zoloft.
