Consult w/ your doc, but it sounds like you may be experiencing some withdrawal from dropping down on the Paxil so quickly. Although, theoretically, the Effexor should cover for the paxil decrease, in reality it doesn't always pan out that way. I personally switched from paxil to prozac very quickly b/c it was supposed to be okay to do that (according to what my pdoc read) but it was a disaster. I needed to go back up on the paxil and back down more slowly. Paxil is one of the worst meds to get off of, expecially if you have been on it for a while.

Call your doc to see if this is okay, but I'd go back up 5mg's of the paxil for a little while before going back down again (doc can rx 10mg tabs which can be split).

Good luck,
EE
