My doctor put me on Paxil last July when I left my husband. It was prescribed to me for situational anxiety. It help greatly with the anxiety I have felt my whole life but especially while I was going through my separation.

It is now time to wean me off the drug and I had no idea that the withdrawl that I would go through would be so bad. My dosage has been reduced in hopes that it will be easier to get off the drug. I have been having headaches (migranes), dizziness, crying spells, anxiety, restlessness and shortness of breath. Those are just a few of the symptoms I am experiencing. I have tried to come off of them before but when the migranes kick in I went back to the regular dose.

This time I am determined to get off of this shit. If I had any idea that coming off them would be harder than when I started them i would not have taken them. Or at least I don't think I would have. I have read some stories on-line from people that have gone through the withdrawls of Paxil and it sounds as though this is a really big issue. You are told what kind of symptons you may experience when starting the drug and I was told I would be weaned off but I was never explain to that there would be such severe withdrawl symptoms.

This is my 3rd day with my half dosage and I am so spaced out. I have the worst headache and I just want to cry. I really hope that I get back to normal soon.

Well time to go
Kim
