>I know we are all different, but does anyone know how darn long these messed up withdrawal feelings will last? I can't remember exactly how long they did for the Paxil (since I wasn't supposed to be feeling them anyway!) Also, has anyone tried anything else that may have lessened the detox effects? Any advice and experiences would be greatly appreciated! Sorry this is so long, but my pdoc hasn’t returned my calls, my husband couldn’t be bothered and I’m feel very alone, sad and mostly abandoned as I go through this.
Sorry you are going through this, I went through that just a few months ago, in preparation for my sleep study and it was horrid. If I remember correctly, it was about 5 days and then it eased up some. I found that taking the capsils and reducing the amount of meds in them each day helped, as I tried to just stop from the lowest dosage and was horrid. It wasn't nearly as bad when I stepped down that way.Susan
