This is exactly the experience I had! Dropping the paxil quickly will likely help after the withdrawal subsides but you will likely need something to STOP the irritability. Depakote is a great suggestion if you can tolerate it! I highly recommend it in the XR version...easier to tolerate....also neurontin (short term!) may help coming off the paxil...some people try prozac but with irritability I would guess that would worsen it..... I am doing better with pristiq....never would have thought it true....but it is helping..... good luck and keep us posted....!
