> I may be wrong but it could be a dopamine surge as SSRI's seretonin deplete dopamine over time..eventually the chemistry balances out. Maybe the good mood it will continue for you..I agree it is probably an increase in dopamine from dropping the wretched dopamine depleting Paxil. I've experienced the same phenemenon when dropping Zoloft myself. Unfortunately, it never lasted more than a few days for me. I don't think it says much for this class of drugs when people can feel much better just by dropping them, but not everyone experiences this.
