SOOOO, I decided to stop Paxil and make a pact with myself to use exercise, etc. to once again battle PMS. BUT no one told me about the WITHDRAWAL!!! Last year I did a scan on the web and saw that people were reporting withdrawal problems, so I decided last Thursday to cut to 5 mg and in 2 weeks to zero. I had also convinced myself that since I had only been taking 10 mg, my withdrawal, if any, would be mild. I WAS WRONG!! As I write, I have the delayed vision going on (thank you to whomever gave that a name), until tonight I was calling it "brain sloshing." I feel like I just got off the spinning teacups. I also have this sensation of pricking all over my body. I feel like my nerve endings are firing off. I keep getting waves of feeling ice, ice cold. Driving is dangerous -- it's like being in those teacups while while on the Scrambler. You can't react. I have vomited twice today. I could go on with more withdrawal symptoms, but somehow I feel better just knowing someone out there may read this. I work for a pharmaceutical company in research and development and there is no way in hell SmithKline had no idea of withdrawals following phase IV clinical trials. They are required to follow patients post trials. My next step is an e-mail to them and a trip to the FDA website. Anyone's response would be kindly appreciated.
