> The worst thing you could do is to listen to some alarmist tell you that it is the return of depression. WIthdrawal effects people in a myriad of ways. The last thing you should do is rush back on the drug at the first hint of trouble and just chalk it up to depression. PErsonally, I would prefer sleep to the hell I have experienced awake coming off these drugs. GIve it time. See how you feel in a few weeks. The drugs aren't going anywhere and if it is depression revisited then you can address it then. It takes a while for the brain to adjust from being off the meds. Good luck.
Have you found anything that works mcp? Sounds like your withdrawals were severe! What happened to you when you were going through it?
I've got a 12 (almost 13) year old and a 15 year old and I feel like the worst mother on earth sleeping all day like this, but I'm literally unable to wake up until around 5 pm since I've been cutting back on the Paxil. I can't fall asleep until around 5 am. My dreams seem like reality and I wake up thinking I've woken up before and talked to my husband when I haven't - it's the strangest sensation. My tongue feels numb and when I turn my head it feels like a funny bone vibration goes through it LOL.YUCK!Cheryl
