> I'm currently on day 16 of no Paxil intake. It's a living hell. I am experiencing the motion feeling in my head which brings on the nausea, (I do take Bonine to help with what feels like motion sickness), headaches, (Ibuprophin), confusion, loss of memory, hot/cold flashes, night sweats, vividly disturbing dreams. Anyway, after 15 days I really need some insight on how much longer I will have to endure this horrible detox. I am a single mother of two, I've been off work for one week. I did try to work the first week but ended up leaving early a lot. Janelle, you seem to have a handle on how long it might be for me, can you give me the inspiration I'm looking for? Anyone else with insight or suggestions please respond.
hi Megara,
it took full two months in my case for the withdrawal symptoms to fully clear out. the passage from week 2 to week 3 made a big difference. after week 2 the symptoms became less frequent and started to lose their intensity. I still can occasionally forget a name in a conversation, but it is not as bad as before and usually is more related to lack of sleep, or too much smoking, not to paxil aftereffect per se. I also had emotional ups and downs while withdrawing (depressive and anxious episodes). these too slowly lost their frequency and intensity with time.
best wishes,
mila
